Transfer between segments
From Wikanual

Concept
INTERDUBS hosts contents in separated segments. These segments are independent from each other for security purposes.
If you like to transfer files between different INTERDUBS segments then you can do so as decribed here. For this example we assume that we would like to copy files from the segment source into the segment target. The URLS for these would be http://www.interdubs.com/r/source and http://www.interdubs.com/r/target respectively.
How to
Target
Start by making a folder ready to become a target.
Navigate in the target segment to the folder and select the
folder edit screen.
On there you will find the
add folder as import option button.
You can enter two fields:
The first is name of the INTERDUBS segment that will be able to see this target.
We would enter source. If you leave this field empty then the folder will be available to all other INTERDUBS segments.
The second field on this screen is used to give further information about the purpose of this folder. It is recommended to make this descriptive. This and the name of your segment will be the only information that is visible in the source segment(s).
A folder will remain a target as long as it exists.
Destination
Now that we have set our target we can switch to the source segment.
Go to the folder that contains the file(s) that you like to export into the source segment. Select those files with the checkboxes in front of them.
Then select the
export screen
A list of all available import folders that have been set up as described here will appear.
Choose the target you like via the
and the files will be copied into the target segment.
Process
This process is actually an export and then automatic import via the API interface. Meta data will make it, but your choice for the thumbnail will not.
The files are absolutely independently of each other. It might take a minute or two before the files appear in the target folder.
Notification
The creator of the import folder will receive an email notification with a list of the transferred files.
Cleanup
A transfer target can be disabled by
folder edit and
remove folder as import option button.
