Setting proxy server options

You may need to set proxy server options if your organization uses proxy servers. See Proxy servers.

User options apply only to the current user account logged in to the computer. Some user options may be disabled, which indicates they are set on the server and cannot be changed.

1. Choose Tools > User Options then select the Proxy Server category.

2. Select a Proxy Server option.

Use proxy server defined by administrator uses the proxy server set by the administrator.
Use selected proxy server uses a specific proxy server. Select this option if the administrator has not configured a default proxy server or the proxy server is not available.
Do not use proxy server disables proxy server use.

3. Select Compress file transfers from proxy server to compress files if you have a slow connection to the proxy server (e.g., you connect to the server via an ISP).

Compression works best on certain types and sizes of files. This option may slow performance due to the time needed to compress and decompress files.

4. Click OK to save the changes.
