Ii. remote download practices

1. Set the FlashCheck plug-in

After the plug-in is installed, Run "FlashCheck". It will be automatically minimized in the system tray. Right-click the icon and choose "personal preference settings" from the menu.

In the displayed dialog box, click the "account settings" tab, click the "add" button in it, and enter the mailbox information such as the alias of the email box, pop3 server, user name, and password, click "OK.

After setting, click the "Other Options" tab to set relevant settings, and set the time interval for regular checks based on your needs, check "ignore error" (ignore network communication errors when checking emails) and "Run automatically" (FlashCheck is automatically run when the system starts), "automatically enters the check status when starting" (automatically enters the check status when running the program, and regularly checks the mailbox), and make sure that the "enable download proxy" option is checked, you can also set "Password Authentication" and enter the same password later.

Tip: Remember to check the "ignore error" option. Otherwise, an error message is displayed when the network is unstable, and the software stops running, then your download plan will be ruined!

After all settings are complete, you can enable the computer to remain online at startup. Right-click the icon at the tray and choose "Start Check" to automatically detect the configured mailbox, wait for the remote task to be downloaded.

2. Remote email download Control

After completing the basic settings of the remote computer, you only need to send an email so that the remote computer can call FlashGet to download the specified software! The subject must follow the following format to be recognized:

Email Subject format: % FlashGet %-dl http: // www. ***. com/02.mp3-psw123

Note the space in the format of "http: // www. ***. com/02.mp3 "is the address of the file to be downloaded, and" 123 "is the authentication password set earlier (if no detection password is set, you can remove"-psw "and its password ).

We only need to send this email to the mailbox set in "FlashCheck". When "FlashCheck" detects this email, flash get will be automatically called up to download the file address pair in the mail title.

Tip: There are a lot of software that cannot be downloaded normally, so when sending an email, you 'd better test whether the software can be downloaded normally locally. Otherwise, the software cannot be downloaded even when sent to a remote computer! If you want to shut down the software after download, you can set it to "automatically shut down after download" in FlashGet.
