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. |
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. |
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. |
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 to exclude from the transfer. Two symbols can be used
in the pattern: * represents zero to many characters in a string, for example "*.tmp"
matches ".tmp" and "abcde.tmp". ? represents one character, for example "t?p" matches
"tmp" but not "temp". |
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. |
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. |
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. |
Scheduling
Start |
Click the calendar icon to select a date and time that serves as the starting
basis for your recurring smart transfers. Based on the "Start" entry, Console will
calculate the run time for the next occurrence (that matches the repeat rules). For
example, if your start date is Friday, April 8, but your transfer is scheduled to run
on Saturdays, then the first transfer will occur on Saturday, April 9. |
Repeat every |
Select the number of minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months to repeat this
transfer. When weeks is selected, you can enable the requisite days of the
week. When months is selected, you can specify whether to perform the transfer
on a specific day of the month or on the "nth ___day" of the month (for example, 1st
Sunday). |
Until |
Click the calendar icon to select a "do not go beyond" date and time. Your
smart transfer will not repeat beyond this entry. |
Time zone |
Select your timezone from the drop-down list. |
Important: When you have more than one destination, you can override the default
smart transfer settings (with the exception of scheduling) shown in the More Options panel
for each individual destination.
