Scheduling and Customizing Transfers in Advanced Mode

You can start a transfer in advanced mode to set per-session transfer options such as filters, security, which override the default transfer settings. You can also schedule the transfer as a one-time transfer or recurring.

1. In the HST Server GUI, right-click a file or folder to open the context menu and select Upload (in the client panel) or Download (in the server panel).
   
2. Configure the transfer settings, as needed.
   The advanced transfer configuration options except Scheduling are identical to those in the Connection Manager. For information on these tabs, see Adding and Editing Connections. The Scheduling tab is described in the next step.

   Tab	Description
   Transfer	The transfer session-related options, such as the transfer speed and retry rules.
   Tracking	Options for tracking the transfer session, including the confirmation receipt and the email notifications.
   Filters	Create filters to skip or include files that match certain patterns.
   Security	Enable the transfer encryption and the content protection.
   File Handling	Set up resume rule, preserve transferred file attributes, and remove or move source files.
   Scheduling	Schedule the transfer.

3. Schedule the transfer.
   Note: When scheduling transfers, ensure that the HST Server GUI stays open and running. Scheduled transfers do not run when the application is closed.

   To enable transfer scheduling, select Schedule this transfer.
