Sending and Receiving Files
Overview
With LanSchool, teachers can send a folder full of files from the teacher's computer to one or more student computers. Then, once students have modified the files, teachers can collect them back on the teacher computer. Each students' files will be neatly organized into sub-folders.

- Select a source folder on the teacher computer that contains the files you'd like to send.
- Select a destination folder on the student computer for the files to be copied into.
- Create a custom folder to specify the location directly

A folder called LanSchool Files will be created on each student machine in the destination folder selected. This folder will contain all of the files copied from the Teacher computer.
Collecting Files from Student Computers
- Select one or more student computers from the Teacher Console.
- Select the drop-down arrow to the right of the Files button in the toolbar.
