Epoptes

Can you use it to send/recieve files from the clients?

Asked by Theodotos Andreou

Some commercial programs (like Netsupport School) can be used to send/recieve files to/from the clients. Many teachers are using this feature for their convinience. Is there such a feature in epoptes? Any plan to add such feature if not?

Also a Windows port would be nice.

Old question, but...

students of primary education have difficulties using the Public folder. In some cases it would be more suitable for the teacher to send a file e.g. on the clients desktop, similar to executing a command like

sudo cp file.odt /home/userXX/Desktop/ && chown userXX:userXX /home/userXX/Desktop/file.odt

Old but still relevant.

That would require knowledge of Linux command line on behalf of the teacher. Not the best idea. Proprietery competitors to epoptes provide such functionality. We happen to have some teachers in our comuunity (ubuntucy) and this is one feature that is stopping them from doing the switch to an open source solution like epoptes or iTalc.
