What is File Transfer ?

The File Transfer utility allows you to see all files and folders on your computer. It also displays any mapped network drives and remote systems that are currently available.

The left window pane of File Transfer shows folders on your computer, mapped network drives and remote systems. The right window pane shows the contents of the drive or folder you click on the left.

You can transfer files and folders by moving or copying them to different locations.


When to use File Transfer

File Transfer can be used to view all files and folders on your computer, mapped network drives and remote systems.

When you need to transfer files to different folders, use File Transfer for a simple way to move and copy files to different locations between local and remote systems.

File Transfer Features

INTRAnet Jazz File Transfer offers the following functionality:

Copying files and folders

Moving files and folders

Connecting to remote systems

Specifying transfer format

Using different connection configurations

Configuring remote system listing types

Logging transfer details


Copy folders and files

You can copy single or multiple folders and files between local and remote systems using menu commands or drag and drop.


Move folders and files

You can move single or multiple folders and files between local and remote systems using menu commands or drag and drop.


Connect to remote systems

File Transfer allows you to connect to as many remote systems (up to a Windows imposed limit) as you like. You can view the contents of the connected remote systems folders as long as you have the appropriate file permissions. Folders and files can be easily copied and moved between the local and remote systems.

Details of remote systems you have already connected to can be saved in a configuration file which can be used to reload the session with remote system connections.


Specify transfer format

You can transfer files as ASCII text or binary. ASCII transfers will not retain all character formatting of the original file which could result in the unexpected content of a transferred file. Binary transfer however, is suitable for transferring files which are dependent on the original format.

You can also choose the default action to be taken if a file that is being transferred happens to exist at the destination location.


Different connection configurations

Details of the remote systems that you have connected to during a particular File Transfer session can be saved in a configuration file. You can then load this file in a different session to restore these original connections without having to manually add the remote systems. If your remote systems are password protected, you will need to enter the password for each system to be able to use it.

This feature allows you to save a transfer environment which can be loaded by a single menu command or a single command line call.


Configure remote system listing types

This feature allows File Transfer to display files and folders on a remote system which is using a non-standard method of listing files and folders. You specify the position of various elements of the listing and File Transfer will use these details to successfully display the remote system's folders and files.

The configuration can be saved and used whenever needed by specifying the Remote System Type for each remote system.


Log transfer details

If you need to keep a record of files that have been transferred, the logging facility can do this. Details including the transfer format, file size and port can be logged in a trace window or file or both.


Overview of remote system listing types

File Transfer uses a remote system's directory listing details to display the contents of a directory in the File Transfer window. Some remote systems however do not use the standard method when compiling a contents list of a directory. On these systems, particular information on the different fields that comprise the listing needs to be specified for File Transfer.

The Configure Remote System Listing Types dialog box enables you to specify the position and length of each field that consists of a remote system's listing. File Transfer uses this information to interpret the remote system's listing to successfully display the directory contents in the File Transfer window.
