Multiple Versions of Java
Multiple versions of Java on a computer can cause problems when using RamCT. This may impact a user’s ability to log in to and use RamCT.
One indication that multiple versions of Java may be installed on a computer is:
When a user attempts to upload or download a file from RamCT they may see a red “X” instead of “My Computer” – this often indicates that there are multiple versions of Java installed on a computer.
Firewalls
You may have to add entries in to a local firewall to allow access to RamCT.
