    Transferring files

    Eden works by using one of the computers as a server and the other as a client. After a connection is made, the file is sent.
    Sending as a client
    Make sure the other computer has completed the "Receive as server" procedure. Click the "Transfer" menu and select the "Send as client" option, enter the other computers IP-address or hostname and port. Press "Yes" and select what file to transfer.
    Sending as a server
    Click the "Transfer" menu and select the "Send as server" option, enter the port on which you want the other computer to connect. Press "Yes" and select what file to transfer.
    Receiving as a client
    Make sure the other computer has completed the "Send as server" procedure. Click the "Transfer" menu and select the "Receive as client" option, enter the other computers IP-address or hostname and port. Press "Yes" and select where you want the file saved to.
    Receiving as a server
    Click the "Transfer" menu and select the "Receive as server" option, enter the port on which you want the other computer to connect. Press "Yes" and select where you want the file saved to.

    Adding encryption

    If you want encryption, it will be available in the Send/Receive dialogs under the "Transfer menu". In these dialogs there is a checkbox with an password-field. To enable encryption, simply check the checkbox and then enter the password into the field. The strength of the encryption relies soly on the strength of the password, meaning:
    Better password = Stronger encryption

    Aborting transfers

    To abort transfers simply select them from the "Active" list, right click the list and select "Abort transfer(s)", then answer yes to the confirmation question.
    However, if you want to abort all the active transfers you can click the "Main" menu and select the "Stop all transfers" option; answering yes to the confirmation question.
