Transferring files

This topic describes how to transfer files from one system to another.

Note: You can use the File Transfer task with only one system at a time. You cannot transfer files to multiple systems or to a group.

Complete the following steps to transfer files:

  1. In the Group Contents pane of IBM Director Console, select the managed system (the target system) to which you want to transfer files.
  2. In theIBM Director Console window, click Tasks > File Transfer > Transfer File to / from target. IBM Director takes a few seconds to query the files on the source system and on the target system.
  3. To select another managed system, click Other.
  4. In the Choose Target window, select the managed system that you want to transfer files to or from and click OK. The managed system is added to the target system list and is selected as the target system.
    Note: The Choose Target window does not display locked managed systems.
  5. In the Source File System pane, expand the applicable hard disk drive. The contents of that drive are displayed, showing subdirectories and files.
    Note: You can switch between Local (management console) and Director Server (management server) by clicking the arrow in the Source File System pane and selecting your choice.
  6. Select the item that you want to transfer; then, drag it onto the applicable location in the Target File System pane.
    Note: Using the wildcard function, you can filter which files are displayed in the Source File System or Target File System panes. When the File Transfer window opens, the Name field contains *.* by default.
