Selecting file handling options for command queues
By default, pcAnywhere prompts you for confirmation before performing an action
that might result in data loss, such as replacing an older file with a newer one.
However, you should change this setting if you plan to perform an automatic file
transfer and will not be available to respond to a confirmation prompt. If you
configure the command queue file to run unattended, errors are displayed in the
command queue status as failed. This does not stop the queue from running.
You can configure pcAnywhere to suppress error messages so that no user
interaction is required. When the command queue encounters a file that cannot
be processed, it automatically proceeds to the next operation. The Command
Queue window displays the status as failed.
Symantec pcAnywhere is configured with optimum settings for file transfer, but
if you notice a difference in speed or performance, you should check the settings.
