File Transfers

The SDLT 600A FTP client allows you to transfer files from a:

•Local PC to/from a SDLT 600A server

•Local PC to/from a non-SDLT 600A server (e.g. Filezilla)

•SDLT 600A server to/from a non-SDLT 600A server

•SDLT 600A server to/from another SDLT 600A server (FXP transfer)

To transfer files, select one or more items in one pane, then drag and drop them to the other pane. You can also transfer files within folders of the same pane, local or remote (e.g. into the SDLT 600A FTP server or into another FTP server).

When transferring files of 4 MB and larger, transfer rates up to 36 MB/sec native may be achieved. When transferring files of less than 4 MB, you may see degraded drive transfer rates.

NOTE: The maximum storage capacity of the

SuperDLTtape II data cartridge is 300GB.

Once a transfer is initiated, the bars show the transfer progress—when the indicator is moving back and forth, the tape is seeking, and once data copying actually begins the bar shows the progress.

The queue lists the files to transfer as well as the status of the transfer. By selecting a file from the list and then right- clicking it, you can:

•Start the transfer queue

•Stop the file transfer

•Remove the file from the list

•Retry the operation

•Display the file transfer properties

NOTE: Canceling a transfer aborts it. Skipping a transfer cancels the current file transfer. The sequence of file transfers continues if there are other files in the transfer queue.

File Transfer Stopped

A sequence of file transfers using the built-in FTP client stops when a file is reserved by the FTP client file system or the file name contains characters not supported.

Duplicate File Name

When you transfer a file and there is already a file with the same name in the destination, there is a conflict and the following window displays:

Figure 10 File Exist

•Overwrite/Overwrite all — Erases the file already on the target and copies the new file in its place.

NOTE: When you overwrite a file, it is not erased from the tape, because the tape drive appends data only (unless the file to overwrite is the last file stored on the tape). However it is not possible to access the overwritten file (unless the file to overwrite is the last file stored on the tape).

NOTE: The SDLT 600A does not support Resume.

•Skip/Skip all— Continues the transfer for other selected files without overwriting the specified file(s).
