PSU TeamSpot Host

This page provides information concerning TeamSpot Host Security issues.

TeamSpot Host

• First have a "Team Leader" log on the TeamSpot Host.  This is needed so that the host is authenticated and all transaction are valid.
• Note Well: TeamSpot clients can assume the Digital Identify of the user logged on the Host.
  • A local profile will be created for working on the TeamSpot Host.
  • Your network drives will not be automatically connected.
• The TeamSpot Host software will launch automatically.
• Once all the services start,  minimize the TeamSpot Control Panel.
• All files which are "CrossWarped" (copied) to the host are stored in the My Documents\Tidebreak\Received folder.
  • This directory is located in your profile directory of Documents and Settings folder
• When the work is complete, remember to Save your Team Files.
  • Close the documents
  • Double Click the My TeamSpot Documents on the Desktop
  • Drag the selected documents to the Participants section of the TeamSpot Mini-Panel
  • When the Participants are shown, select the desired clients and release the mouse
• Remember to LOGOFF the TeamSpot Host, when the TeamSpot session is complete.
  • So no one can send mail or charge printing to you, or delete your file
  • You can use PointRight from a client to Logoff the Host
