RMIAdmin allows you to perform file operation on remote computer locally, much
similar as if you are using Windows Explorer over various file system.
For example, when you want to move a file from one place to another on several remote
machines, you could simply do this in just one interface of RMIAdmin, regardless of
the target computer platform.
For example when you want to operate files from a Windows computer to another Windows computer,
you must either use FTP or map the remote network drives (which must be shared initially).
The same applied to unix-like computer, you have to start the NFS / FTP / Samba service before
you could really connect with these remote file system, which is therefore raising a great deal
management issue such as specific settings, as well as security concern. While RMIAdmin keeps
you away from this burden by means of the RMIServer program in which configurations is guaranteed
to be consistent even across various computer platforms.
The usage of RMIAdmin File Browser is fairly easy and much alike to Windows Explorer.
