File Transfers 0
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.
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
N OTE : The maximum storage capacity of the
SuperDLTtape II data cartridge is 300GB.
N OTE : 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 0
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 0
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.
•
Skip
/Skip all— Continues the transfer for other
selected files without overwriting the specified file(s).
N OTE : 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).
N OTE : The SDLT 600A does not support Resume.
