Advanced
The Advanced tab provides extended configurations for Xythos Drive.
Proxy SettingsXythos Drive will detect and configure any necessary parameters for proxies or firewalls. However, you can be more explicit about these detections by manually configuring your proxy settings.
When Xythos Drive is first installed, the settings will be set to Auto-detect on connection. Once a connection has been made, it will be set to either Direct connection, no proxy or the actual proxy address.
To Set a Proxy Address Manually:
- Press the Change Proxy Settings button.
- Click the HTTP(S) check box until a solid checkmark appears and the Proxy server box is clear.
- In the Proxy server box, enter the proxy address. If you would like to have Xythos Drive run the auto-detect again, click the check box until the check mark appears dimmed.
- Click OK.
To Set a Proxy Authentication information:
- Press the Change Proxy Settings button.
- Under HTTP Proxy Authentication, enter the Username and Password for your proxy server.
- Click OK

When you report a problem the log files can help identify the cause of the problem. When you contact support, you may be requested to forward these files. To improve support, Xythos Drive is installed with logging enabled. The log files are stored on your machine in your Documents and Settings folder, usually located at C:\Documents and Settings\PC user account name\Local Settings\Application Data\Xythos\cache\logs\. If you do not see this folder, Windows Explorer may need to be set to show hidden files. On the Tools menu, select Folder Options. On the View tab, select Show hidden files and folders, and then click OK.
Each check box controls a different area of logging.
Log HTTP exchange | Includes all information about communication between Xythos Drive and the server, except folder listings, in the log file. |
Log monitor messages | Includes the messages that appear in the Status Monitor in the log file. |
