Resuming an interrupted file transfer

If you lose your connection to another computer while transferring files, File Transfer Recovery lets you connect again and continue the transfer where it left off. Any file—or portion of a file—copied before the interruption is skipped; only the untransmitted data is copied.

If you lose a connection while transferring a file, the data transferred at the point of inter- ruption is stored on the target computer.

When you reconnect and resume the transfer, the miss- ing part of the file—not the entire file—is copied, along with the remaining files.

File Transfer Recovery lets you continue a file transfer even when you have lost a connection. Instead of starting the transfer at the beginning, File Transfer Recovery resumes at the point where the connection was lost:

•Only the missing part of the interrupted file is copied.

•Files successfully copied before the interruption are not copied again.

TIP File Transfer Recovery is particularly useful when you copy large files over an unreliable modem connection.

To resume an interrupted file transfer:

•If you were running an Xchange Agent when the inter- ruption occurred, run the agent again.

•If you were transferring from File Transfer windows: 1 Re-establish the connection.

2 Select the same files and folders.

3 Begin the transfer again.
