Chapter 5 | Administering FileMaker Server 53

Uploading databases

FileMaker provides two ways to upload databases to FileMaker Server:

1 In FileMaker Pro, use File menu > Sharing > Upload to FileMaker Server to transfer

FileMaker

Pro databases from your computer’s file system to FileMaker Server if both

computers are on the same network. FileMaker

Pro uploads database files along with any

externally stored container field objects. FileMaker

Server copies the database files to the

specified database folder and sets file permissions and privileges so that you can access the

databases after they are uploaded.

1 Manually upload database files to FileMaker Server. You must copy the database files and any

externally stored container field objects to the proper location. In OS

X, change the files’ group

ownership to belong to the fmsadmin group. For more information about uploading

FileMaker

Pro files to the server, see FileMaker Server Help.

Note If any of your databases require a plug-in, see FileMaker Server Help for information about

managing plug-ins.

Encrypting databases

In FileMaker Pro Advanced, you can use the database encryption feature to encrypt the contents

of a database file. Encryption protects the FileMaker database file and any temporary files that are

written to disk.

Note For more information about encrypting a database, see FileMaker Pro Help.

When you use the database encryption feature, it encrypts the database content by combining the

database file’s encryption password and a randomly generated, universally unique identifier

(UUID), also known as a salt. This unique encryption password encrypts the data when it is stored

on disk so if someone steals a copy of the database, the database’s contents can’t be viewed.

Encrypting databases in FileMaker Pro Advanced

In FileMaker Pro, you can restrict user actions while a database is open by setting the user’s

privileges in the file. To protect the database when it is stored on disk, use the database encryption

feature in Developer Utilities (FileMaker

Pro Advanced). You can also decrypt or re-encrypt a

FileMaker database file with Developer Utilities. The encryption process can take some time for

large database files, so a progress dialog box displays and shows the current status. For more

information about database encryption, see FileMaker

Pro Help.

To host an encrypted database file on FileMaker Server for FileMaker clients, you can manually

upload the database to FileMaker

Server or use the Upload to FileMaker Server menu command

in FileMaker

Pro to transfer the file. In either case, you must open an encrypted database using

Admin Console or the fmsadmin command. See FileMaker

Server Help for more information.
