Massive send/receive files. Useful when we want to retreive back the files we sent with the changes the students have made, e.g. on an exam or a project. We can create a new empty folder or send an existing folder with files inside. The folder will be created on users personal files (My Documents, letter X:\) directly or in a subfolder if we want.
