Where:
/devicesOn this page
The “Connect to a computer” box
At the top of the page. One box for every way to start a session:
- Type into Silux ID, name or IP. Your own devices autocomplete — pick one and press Connect.
- Type an ID that isn’t in your workspace and an Access code or password field appears: enter the code shown in Silux Connect on that computer (the person there is asked to accept) or an unattended password set for it.
- The arrow beside Connect (More ways to connect) opens Transfer files or Terminal for one of your devices.
Links of the form /devices?connect=123456789 (also opened by silux-agent connect <ID>) fill the box for you.
