Send Files to Many Devices When the Previous Transfer Ends

Overview

Start a distribution to multiple destination devices once a preceding transfer has ended, so the two transfers are arranged in sequence rather than side by side. The end of the earlier transfer is the configured trigger for this one.

Key components

• Preceding transfer (completion trigger)
• Source device (e.g., Windows)
• Multiple destination devices

How it fits your workflow

Use this solution to build a staged distribution, where files first land on an intermediate point and are then fanned out to the wider set of destinations. Chaining on completion is how the second stage is kept from being started before the first one has ended.

Common use cases

• Fan out files to regional servers once they reach a staging host
• Run a two-stage release from a central hub to branch sites
• Hand collected files off to multiple downstream systems in order
• Separate the upload and distribution phases of a large release
