Local Library Settings
Overview
These dialogs create, import or alter the settings of libraries. These
settings are primarily for use of Curator and will not affect the Art
Museum website.
Local vs Remote Library
Remore libraries are instances of the Art Museum website. They are
connected to by FTP. Any changes made to them will be reflected in their
respective Art Museum instance.
Local libraries, or caches, are instances of libraries located on your
computer. When you connect to a remote library, a local library is
automatically created and sync with its remote counterpart. Every time
you connect to a remote library, its local counterpart is updated in this
way.

Options
- Name: library name in the select dialog. Does not affect
website.
- URL: url in the select dialog. Can be blank. Does not affect
the website.
- FTP: FTP server to connect to. Must be in the format of
'ftp://hostname:port/path/to/library'. Encryption is supported via
FTPS. To enable it, replace 'ftp://' with 'ftps://'.
- Username & Password: username and password to use to connect to
FTP server.
- FTP Mode: Whether to use active (PORT) or passive (PASV) FTP
mode. If you are unsure, it's best to start with passive and change to
active if you are having trouble connecting.
- Library Location (Source): location to save caches in. If 'User
default library location' is checked, it will be stored in the directory
set in the global settings menu.
See: Global Settings
- Clear Cahce: clear library cahce. This does NOT affect
the remote library. It only clears the local cache. Doing this will
cause a full re-download of the remote library next time it is
oppened.
