FILE TRANSFER AUTOMATION

Set up a recurring file transfer once,
and it runs automatically.

Run file transfers automatically at a set time, when a new file is created or when a previous job completes. Run everything from selecting the files to follow-up jobs, failure recovery and result records as one automated operation.

SCHEDULE & EVENT TRIGGERS

On a set schedule,
or the moment a new file appears.

Schedule transfers that repeat hourly, daily, weekly or monthly. Follow-up transfers can also start automatically on events, such as a new file being created or a previous job completing.

No one needs to watch for the right moment or start a transfer by hand.

FILE SELECTION & SAVE RULES

Send only the files you need,
and save them by set rules.

Choose the files to transfer by file name, extension, size, regular expression, and include and exclude conditions.

At the destination, files are saved by set rules such as date-based folders, overwrite and automatic numbering.

AUTOMATED WORKFLOWS

When one job completes,
the next transfer follows.

Collect files from many devices, deliver them to a central server, then distribute the processed results back to many devices. Each follow-up job runs automatically on the completion event of the stage before it.

AUTOMATED RECOVERY

Even when a transfer stops,
it recovers automatically by your policy.

When a device goes offline, the network drops or storage runs out, the transfer waits or retries according to the policy you set.

Recoverable transfers resume from the point of interruption, and only failed or missing files need to be processed again. The run history shows everything from the error to the completed recovery.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

File transfer automation,
frequently asked questions

Can I run file transfers automatically every day or every week?

Yes. Set a repeat interval such as hourly, daily, weekly or monthly and file transfers run automatically.

Can a new file be transferred automatically when it is created?

Yes. A new file creation event in a set location is detected and the configured transfer job runs automatically.

Can I select only specific files for automatic transfer?

Combine file name, extension, file size, regular expressions, and include and exclude conditions to select what is transferred.

Can another transfer start automatically when a transfer completes?

Yes. Use the completion event of the previous job as the run condition of the next job to set up a chain of file transfers.

What happens when several automated transfers are scheduled at the same time?

Under the run conflict policy defined in Assurance, you can prevent duplicate runs or configure waiting and follow-up handling.

What happens if the network drops or a device goes offline?

The transfer waits, retries or resumes according to the recovery policy you set.

How are files handled when only some of them fail?

Check the per-file results and configure retries for only the failed or missing files.

What happens if an automated transfer does not complete within the set time?

Define a completion deadline as a success condition in the Assurance Contract, and whether the deadline was met is verified separately from whether the transfer itself succeeded.

Can I search and audit the results of automated runs?

You can search and check run times, run status, per-file transfer results, and error and recovery history.
