Transferring InstantdbSync components to Unix

The InstantdbSync Controller and EC can be installed on a Linux or Unix system.  The EP must be installed on a Windows system.

 

Before installing InstantdbSync on UNIX, a Windows Installation must be completed.

 

  1. On the Start menu, click Programs, click CONNX InstantdbSync and then click UNIX Installer. The InstantdbSync for UNIX Setup window appears.

  1. If the target system has an FTP, SFTP or SCP server enabled, skip to step 4.
     

  2. If the target system does not have an FTP server enabled, select the Manual Copy Installation option and click the Begin Client Installation button.  This option will create the necessary install files in the InstantdbSync\INSTALL\UNIX\TEMPINST subdirectory of the CONNX installation directory.  Move these files via an alternate copy method to the Unix server and then proceed to the section Installing InstantdbSync on Unix.
     

  3. Select an operating system from the Platform list box and  the desired transfer method (FTP, SFTP or SCP).

  4. In the Login area, enter the TCP/IP host name or address for your system platform in Server, the user account name in Username, and the account password in Password.  Enter the installation directory in Path.  

    Note: Specifying a Path is optional.  If you do not specify a path, the files will be transferred to the default home directory for the user specified in Username.
