Remote connection

The PAW Server can reside on a different machine than the PAW GUI. This means that it is possible to administer more than one PAW Server by using the same GUI.

To connect to a remote Server select New Connection from the dropdown list in the toolbar and press the button.

The following dialog box appears:

Fill out the hostname and port field. The port that has to be specified is the PAW Admin-Serve port, not the port of the PAW Server (the standard port for the PAW Admin-Server is 4444).

In the next dialog fill in username and password.

The standard user is admin and the standard password is paw
You should change this as soon as possible to have a secure site.

If everything works out fine, you will se the tree-view of the connected server.

All successfull logins are remembered in the file hosts in your PAW install directory on exiting PAW.

Note:
Within GUI sessions login information to different hast will be stored.
So if changing hosts within the same session, you don't have to provide user and password information again.
