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

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).

:

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).
