connecting from one Calibre app to another Calibre server

[edabxv]

Hi,

I don't know if title would be clear, so:

I have Calibre intalled on my home machine and have content server running.

I can connect with a browser to a content server from anywhere to my home without problems.

what I am looking for, is to connect my laptop Calibre to home content server and not from browser.

Is there a way?

Thank you

Not really:
Calibre is not Multi-user (or multi-user proof)

You could remote control your Calibre Computer (server) with Remote desktop connection (built in to Windows Pro versions) or VNC. In either case, be sure to use a strong password on the connection logon.

Thanks for reply, but I now think that was probably wrong in my understanding. It has nothing to do with single or multi user. I can connect to Calibre Content server from more than one browser and this is what confused me.

The issue is that Calibre app itself does not have mechanism to connect to Content Server

The Content serve is a Read Only connection to Calibre.

The multiuser problem is because more that 1 Write capable user can cause a change data that the others do not know about (and could also be attempting a change on the same data).
