Question Title How do I set up c-tree client/server file access?

Question:

How do I set up c-tree for remote file access?

Answer:

To use c-tree in client/server mode, you simply need to start ctsrvr on the server and then set the appropriate iscobol.properties and ctree.conf settings on the client. Here are the steps:

  1. Start ctsrvr on the server. Test the server by running ctadmn from the same machine and use the following username/password: admin/ADMIN.
  2. Set the client's configuration file correctly. Use the following in your isCOBOL properties file:
       iscobol.file.index=ctreej
    
    And set the server information variable in either your isCOBOL properties file:
       iscobol.file.index.server=FAIRCOMS@<hostname or IP address>
    
    Or in your ctree.conf properties file:
       <instance server="FAIRCOMS@<hostname or IP address>">
       </instance>
    

Note:
that the ctree.conf file is the file specified in the CTREE_CONF environment variable, or the ctree.conf file in the current working directory, or /etc/ctree.conf, whichever is the first to exist.

Note:
also that the default server name is FAIRCOMS. You can change this with the SERVER_NAME variable in ctsrvr.cfg on the server.
