Connecting to PFBucket
When you start your application, the launch window is displayed to help you connect to your PFBucket server. It is composed of three main areas:
Information about your workstation, including the machine type (Physical or Virtual), your PFHostID, and your machine name.
The PFBucket server list. This will display any servers that you can connect to, and also allow you to manually add an IP address or machine name for your server.
The Launch button. Once a server is available, clicking the launch button will start the application and connect to your server.
