<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Coming full circle from my original question...issue is obviously a common concern. Too bad SL Version 2 does not have a way to save out inventory like OpenSim's IAR. Seems like it would have been a great opportunity add that capability for things you create in SL Viewer Ver 2...<div><br></div><div>Just to follow up on IAR, it worked fine for me in my tests, granted the VirtualBox servers were identical but on different computers. I liked the fact that you have to be organized with the stuff your create and place them is specfic folders, etc good skill for students ;-)</div><div><br></div><div>Most of what I see my teachers and students using OpenSim would be in "walled garden" type of situations. So the ability to deploy a specific sim with prebuilt content, and then ability to IAR content they create and inventory in portfolio, etc. seems to fit my purpose. </div><div><br></div><div>Do have a couple questions about IAR though:</div><div><br></div><div>1. When I was running Save and Load IAR I'm working directly on the server and the command line on the server. It also saved the IAR files directly to the bin folder (Diva install) and requires that they be in the bin folder when I load them back into a different sim. This is not a problem when the server and the client are on the same hardware (my desktop), but when OpenSim is deployed on it's own hardware, am i going to have to log in remotely to the server to run iar? Is it possible to ssh to OpenSim server and run the management console to save and load IAR files? How would you do that if the server is already running, you wouldn't want to start another terminal window and run opensim.exe again, would you? </div><div><br></div><div>2. When running the save iar command, is it possible to set the saved file path to another computer? If so what would that look like? </div><div><save iar user name ///user/myuseraccount/Documents/OpenSim_Archives mySecretPassword theSavedArchive >??? Same thing for using the "load iar" command from a client computer?</div><div><br></div><div>Would it be possible for the "save iar" command to save to an ftp directory, like: <save iar user name <font><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><a href="ftp://imstudent">ftp://imstudent</a>:mypassword@</span></font></font>Archive_Student_Created_Content/Server/OpenSim_Archives_Portfolio/ mySecretPassword theSavedArchive > ???</div><div><br></div><div>3. Is there a gui interface to run the OpenSim mangement console from a desktop to generate, save and load IAR files?</div><div><br></div><div>Ideally, I would like the ability to save and load AIR files from a client computer rather than the server. Or even if there was an little GUI app that students could use to save what the create to a digital portfoio, kind of like the ftp example in question number 2.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance for any help! :-)</div><div><br></div><div>John Patten</div><div>Tech Dept</div><div>SUSD</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Feb 23, 2010, at 12:13 PM, marcel verhagen wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">I am happy with the save tools of opensim.
