3.3 During File Transfer
During a file transfer, a status window provid es information a bout
the transfer. For most users, the most important information is the
percentage of the file transferred. T his figure can be used to
estimate when the file transfer will end.
Other activities cannot be performed with Remote Maintenance
until the file transfer is com plete. Howe ver, transferrin g files does
not interfere with the voice mail system on the host computer. The
voice mail system continues to answer calls while the file transfer is
in progress.
If the File Transfer Fails
Under some circumstances, the system may fail to transfer a file
because of a poor telephone c onnection between the hos t and
remote computers.
If an error occurs during a file trans fer, Remote Maintenance
attempts to correct it several times. If the problem persists, the
transfer is eventually aborted. T he number of errors is displaye d in
a status window. If problems persist with a transfer, try
disconnecting and calling again to est ab lish a better connection.
