Opening Data Files from a Remote Server

In distributed analysis mode, the Open Remote File dialog box replaces the standard Open File dialog box.

• The contents of the list of available files, folders, and drives depends on what is available on or from the remote server. The current server name is indicated at the top of the dialog box.
• In distributed analysis mode, you will not have access to files on your local computer unless you specify the drive as a shared device or specify the folders containing your data files as shared folders. Consult the documentation for your operating system for information on how to "share" folders on your local computer with the server network.
• If the server is running a different operating system (for example, you are running Windows and the server is running UNIX), you probably won't have access to local data files in distributed analysis mode even if they are in shared folders.

Note: Distributed analysis is available only if you have both a local version and access to a licensed server version of the software that is installed on a remote server.
