How does it work?

Ranger Outpost is designed to allow users access to files via a remote internet connection. Ranger Outpost presents a similar interface to Windows Explorer and so is instantly recognisable to most users. When the Ranger Outpost server is installed on one of the domain controllers on the school's local network, it will automatically generate a setup package for the client software, which is customised with connection settings to allow it to contact the school's site. The client is then installed by one of the following methods:

• Download from the school web site
• Download from the local Intranet
• Pre-installed to client machines before they are removed from the LAN
• Distributed by CDROM or USB storage key.
