Chapter 7: WS_FTP Transfer Manager
This chapter includes the following topics:
What is the Transfer Manager?
The WS_FTP Pro Transfer Manager is the module of WS_FTP Pro that performs transfers. It is also useful to users as a tool that lets them view the progress of transfers, to schedule the transfer of multiple files, and to view logs for individual transfers.
Transfer Manager Dialogs
The following sections describe each of the dialogs and tabs that are encountered while using the Transfer Manager.
Transfer Manager Transfers Tab
The Transfer Manager dialog displays a list of all pending, paused, and failed transfers. To access this dialog from either WS_FTP Pro interface: From the View menu, select Transfer Manager.
- Source. The path and name of the file or folder that is to be transferred.
- Status. The current status of the listed item.
- Transferred. The number of bytes transferred.
- Rate (KB/S). The number of Kilobytes being transferred per second.
- Size. The actual size of the file in bytes.
- Time Left. The estimated time left until the transfer is complete.
Transfer Manager History Tab
The History tab of the Transfer Manager displays a list of successful transfers. This list can be sorted by clicking on the column headers.
- Transfer Arrow. The arrow on the far left side of the item identifies what type of transfer was performed. An up arrow means upload, a down for download, and a left-right arrow is for site to site transfers.
- Date. This is the date and time the transfer was completed.
- Source. This is the site profile that was used to connect to the source.
- Source Path. The path on the source directory from the root to the transferred item.
- Source File Name. The name of the source file that was transferred.
- Destination. The site profile and folder that was used to connect to the destination.
- Destination Path. The path on the destination directory from the root to where the transferred item was placed.
- Destination File Name. The name of the file after it has been transferred.
- Size. The number of bytes transferred.
Once a file is successfully transferred, you can select it and choose Execute from the History menu. If it is a download, the destination file will be opened in its associated application. If it is an upload, the source file will be opened.
You can remove items from the history list by selecting them and choosing Delete from the History menu.
You can remove all items by selecting Clear All from the History menu.
