Simple Transfer Options

The following tables provide information on additional configurable settings that are available when creating simple transfers.

Connection

Fasp Port (UDP) Specify the UDP port for FASP file transfers.
Fasp proxy Enable transferring through a FASP proxy server, and specify the proxy host address, port, username, and password. This feature enables the source node to bypass restrictions to the destination node for this specific transfer by using a proxy.

Security

Content protection Check the option to enable the content protection that encrypts the files on destination, using the entered password.
Transport encryption Select aes-128 to transfer with this encryption method.

Transfer

Target rate Specify the transfer target rate.
Minimum rate Set the transfer minimum rate
Bandwidth policy Choose a transfer policy among fixed/high/fair/low.
Retry policy Check the option to enable the retry policy, as well as specify the number of attempts and the duration.

Notifications

Email address To send status notifications for transfer events (start, success, or error), enter an email address and click Add. When the email address appears in the table, specify which email template to use for each transfer event.

File Handling

Timestamp Filtering Select this option to exclude files modified in the designated number of seconds.
Resume policy Specify a resume policy and the overwrite rule when the file exists on the destination.
File attributes Check the option to preserve the file permissions on the destination.
Symlinks Specify how to deal with symbolic links: follow, copy, copy and force, or skip. Leave this option blank if the source is on Windows. For all others, leaving it blank is the same as choosing "follow".
Source Archiving Move source files to a designated directory after completing a transfer. The transfer's session details page will display the archive directory's filepath as the After transfer path. For more information on session details, see Transfer Details.
Note: The After transfer path will only be visible in the session details of the Console that initiated the transfer. Another Console monitoring the same managed nodes will not have access to the After transfer path.
Note: Rerunning the transfer may generate a "No such file or directory" error since the source files were moved to the archive directory.
Delete empty source subdirectories This option becomes available if you selected Source Archiving. Select this option to delete any subdirectory that is emptied by the source archiving.
Note: Console does not delete the top-most directory in the source path.
Source Deletion Check the option to delete the transferred files from the source computer.
Exclude filter Enter file-name pattern Console uses to determine what files to exclude from the transfer.

You can use the following two symbols in the pattern:

  • * : The wildcard (*) symbol represents zero to many characters in a string. For example, the "*.tmp" pattern matches ".tmp" and "abcde.tmp".
  • ? : The question mark (?) represents any one character. For example, the "t?p" pattern matches "tmp" but not "temp".
Include filter

Enter file-name pattern Console uses to determine what files to include in the transfer. Only files matching the filter are transferred.

You can use the following two symbols in the pattern:

  • * : The wildcard (*) symbol represents zero to many characters in a string. For example, the "*.tmp" pattern matches ".tmp" and "abcde.tmp".
  • ? : The question mark (?) represents any one character. For example, the "t?p" pattern matches "tmp" but not "temp".

Advanced

Initiator Check this option to initiate transfers from the destination node (if possible). Console normally initiates transfers from the source node unless the source is an unmanaged node.
fasp datagram size (MTU) Select the option and enter the datagram size in bytes.
Read block size Check the option and enter the read block size in bytes.
Write block size Check the option and enter the write block size in bytes.

Transfer Time

Transfer Specify when to submit the transfer.
Note: You can cancel scheduled simple transfers by going to Activity > Transfers. Click the Scheduled drop-down menu and select All. In the row for the transfer, click Cancel.
