File Transfer

Use the File Transfer task to send files from one location to another and to synchronize files, directories, or drives. The File Transfer task is a secure alternative to FTP.

You can transfer individual files and directories between the following systems:
  • The management console and the management server
  • The management console and a managed system
  • The management server and a managed system

File transfer between two managed systems is not supported directly. However, you can transfer a file from one managed system to a management console or management server and then transfer that file to a different managed system.
