This might help out on distributing modules to your players, especially if you update them frequently. Also, it will give yourself a backup of your modules.
You and your players Signup, Download, and Install Dropbox (https://www.dropbox.com/)
Now, if you are using Windows XP, download JUNCTION (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896768.aspx) and unzip it to C:\Windows\System32, Windows Vista can use MLINK
Next, do a Start -> Run -> CMD
In the prompt, type
move "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Fantasy Grounds II\modules" "C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Dropbox\"
Next (while still in the CMD prompt)
junction "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Fantasy Grounds II\modules" "C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Dropbox\modules"
(GM Only) Next, right click on your dropbox and go to the website. Go to "Sharing" -> "Share a folder" -> "I'd like to share an existing folder" -> select "modules" -> Input your players email addresses to share with.
Now, every time you make a change, it is reflected to all the rest. This is also nice if you just want to share your work between your home computer, laptop, and work computer (but we all know we shouldn't do that :ninja: )
I got this idea from https://wiki.dropbox.com/TipsAndTricks/SyncOtherFolders
Hope this helps
