Transfer between segments
From Wikanual

Concept
INTERDUBS hosts contents in separated segments. These segments are independent from each other for security purposes. Usually each client has their own segment.
If you like to transfer files between different INTERDUBS segments then you can do so easily. You can make any folder in your segment the target of such transfers. You can specify if you like to make this for a specific other segment or for all segments.
Example
For this example we assume that you would like to copy files from the segment called source into the segment called target. The URLS of these segments would be http://www.interdubs.com/r/source and http://www.interdubs.com/r/target respectively.
Target
Start by making a folder ready to become a target in the target segment.
Navigate in the target segment to the desired folder and select the
folder edit
screen. There you will find the
add folder as import option
button. On the next screen are two fields:
The first is name of the INTERDUBS segment that will be able to see this target. We would enter source in our example. If you like to create a public destination the you would enter public here.
The second field on this screen is used to attach further information about the purpose of this destination 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.
The folder will remain a target as long as it exists.
Source
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 check boxes in front of them.
Then select the
export screen
A list of all available import folders that have been set up will appear.
Choose the target you like via the
button and the files will be copied into the target segment.
Process
The process is actually made out of an export and then automatic import via the API interface. Meta data will make it, but your choice for the thumbnail will not.
The copied 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
and
remove folder as import option
button.
