More Info * Text Chat -- The Chat feature allows you to have a text-based conversation with multiple people simultaneously. Everything you type into the chat appears on the screen of everyone who is inside that chat "room", and vice-versa. You can also send a special Chat Invitation to one or multiple people, inviting them to participate in the chat. KDX supports multiple newsgroups, so messages can be organized into various topics. You can also restrict access to certain newsgroups, thus allowing some classes of accounts to read the newsgroup, but not others. With a single click, you can connect to a server that is in your Address Book. User Icons are 32x32 pixels, and can be ANY image you desire (you are not limited to a set of icons). In addition to the icon, your online identity can be personalized with a name, a description, colors, and status icons (such as "away" or "sleeping"). It has excellent compatibility, so for example, MacOS users have no problem communicating with MS Windows users, or vice-versa. You can download a pre-made Sound List file from the Haxial website, or you can make your own using the KDXSoundListEdit utility. KDX can even automatically transfer whole folders of files, including any sub-folders and their sub-folders etc. You can queue file transfers, so that they will not begin until the prior transfers have finished. This is very convenient because it means you do not have to be present at the computer to start the next download when the first one finishes -- it will happen automatically (simultaneous transfers are also supported). KDX also displays the current speed, amount of data transferred, and estimated time remaining of each transfer. KDX supports very long file names (255 characters), and huge multi-terabyte sized files (64-bit). This includes a hierarchical display for quick navigation of the folder hierarchy. The Filter feature allows you to type part of a file name, and the file list will be filtered to show only those items that contain the text you typed. This is because KDX is able to generate a catalog/index of all the files.
More Info * UPnP Routers Supported -- If you share your Internet access between multiple computers (using a router), then you will appreciate KDX's ability to automatically configure your router (assuming it supports UPnP) for use with KDX. KDX can also be used with older non-UPnP routers, but then you have to configure the router manually. You can connect to a KDX Tracker to obtain listings of servers that are currently online, including a short description. KDX Tracker also supports multiple groups, so servers can organize themselves into various topics of interest. Trackers are also useful for servers with dynamic IP addresses, which is fully supported. This is particularly useful for non-English speakers who wish to communicate with people in their own language, which may use a non-Latin alphabet. You can also hit the F1 key or control-shift-W (command-shift-W) to show a popup menu with a list of all windows in the program. For example, a KDX URL in a webpage can launch KDX and connect to a server. Haxial has been busily porting KaaDX to Earth operating systems. So with KDX, you're getting a product which incorporates advanced alien technology! Features for Server Administrators/Owners * Accounts -- A powerful Accounts system gives you the flexibility to determine who can connect to your server and who is permitted to perform what actions. Every significant action on the server can individually be turned on or off for a particular account. The Account Classes feature gives you a powerful way to manage a very large number of accounts with a greatly reduced amount of effort. Using Account Classes, you can easily apply a change to access privileges to a whole class of accounts instantly and in 1 step (rather than manually modifying individual accounts). KDX also realizes that not every account exactly fits into a class, and thus certain access privileges in an account can be set to override the settings in the class, while others inherit the class settings.
More Info * Server Icon -- Servers can display a Server Icon (152x40 pixels) to clients when they connect. This means you can easily administer your server without having to be physically present at the computer on which it is running. This means you can easily install a new version of the KDX Server software without having to physically visit the server computer, and without having to mess around with other programs. The base folder appears to the user as if it has no parent folder (and the user is prevented from browsing into the parent folder). This is an excellent way to limit what areas of the hard disk the user can access. KDX Server supports multiple base folders, meaning that the base folder for each Account or Account Class can be different, thus allowing you to give different users access to different areas of the hard disk. Users can be restricted to uploading to these "Uploads" folders. You can also create "Drop Box" folders, which are folders where users are allowed to upload, but they cannot see or download the contents of the folder. For example, you might create an "Admin Drop Box", which people can use to send you files without making them available to everyone else. A Drop Box can also have an Owners, meaning the person who can view the contents of that particular Drop Box. This is useful if some users have problems with certain port numbers due to ISP faults or restrictions, etc. KDX Server can also conduct file transfers on the same port that is used for connecting, or it can be configured to use a different port (useful if you want to apply bandwidth restrictions only to the file transfer port). This is very useful for keeping away troublesome users and defending against attacks. Banned addresses can optionally be set to expire automatically at a certain time. For example, if a user tries to flood the server, KDX Server will automatically disconnect and ban that user. The alias acts much like the original item, but it can have a different name and be in a different location. KDX Server allows users to browse into folders via an alias, thus giving you a great amount of flexibility in the organization of your hard disk. Remote Administration and Control Features * Process Monitor -- The "Process Monitor" window shows you a list of the processes (running programs) which are running on the server computer. This even works between different operating systems, for example a Mac can view the screen of a Windows computer, or vice-versa.
Screenshot * Remote File Management -- Folders can be created on the server. Multiple files on the server can be moved from one location to another in the one action. You can also optionally include a message to be sent to everyone before the server is shutdown. Versatile and Useful KDX Here are some examples of the ways that you can use KDX: Collaboration KDX is designed to suit multiple people collaborating on, organizing, and/or managing a joint project over the internet. Friends The chat, news and messaging features of KDX are great for keeping in touch/contact with friends and family. Chat events A guest or distinguished speaker can be the focus of a "chat event", where people can ask questions of the distinguished speaker and see his/her answers in real time using KDX. Publishing Designers around the world can use a KDX Server to exchange their image files, discuss new designs, upload graphics files to their publishers, work collaboratively on a publishing job, etc. Remote administration The file management features of KDX are very helpful in the administration of a server computer, without having to be physically in front of that computer. Internet Telephone Make big savings on international and long distance telephone calls by using KDX as an Internet Telephone, instead of using the regular telephone. Working from home If you work from home, or on the road, or while traveling/holidaying, or from any temporary location, KDX is great for accessing files that are at work and keeping in touch with the office. You can run a KDX Server at work, and then connect to it...
