File Transfer
Automated File Transfer
Introducing INNORIX file transfer automation, which scales from simple recurring transfers to complex Flows as much as you need.
START SIMPLE
Automate everything from a recurring transfer between two devices to an entire Transfer Flow.
File transfer automation doesn't need to start with a complex Workflow.
If your task is sending the same file every day from Server A to Server B, you can start automating just by setting the Source, Target, and time. As your work expands, you can connect sequential transfers from A → B → C, distribution and collection to multiple destinations, and even Processing by external systems within the same Flow.
INNORIX file transfer automation starts with a simple recurring Transfer using a few settings, then scales to a full Data Movement by connecting Triggers, Conditions, Branches, and external systems as needed.
SIMPLE AUTOMATION
EXTEND WHEN NEEDED
A → B → C
- D
- External Process
FIRST FLOW
Set the Source, Target, and time, and your first automation is complete.
The simplest file transfer automation doesn't require a complex Workflow design.
Create Flow
Instead of connecting to the server and running a command every time, operators can run a Transfer they created once, repeatedly, at the time they need.
GROW AS NEEDED
Start with a simple Schedule and expand as much as you need.
The complexity of automation can be added step by step to match the complexity of your work.
Rather than designing every condition from the start, you build the automation you need right now and expand it within the same Flow Model.
SCHEDULE
Run recurring transfers to match your business hours.
A Transfer that runs at a set time is the most basic form of Automation.
SCHEDULE → Transfer
- One-Time
- Every Hour
- Daily 02:00
- Weekly
- Weekend
- Night
From immediate execution and one-time jobs to recurring tasks on an hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly cycle, and night and weekend transfers, you can configure everything to match your business cycle.
Save the Source and Target, file conditions, and Schedule as a Flow, keeping the recurring task itself as a reusable Transfer Configuration.
TRIGGERS
Use changes in your business, not just time, as a Trigger.
Not every Transfer starts at a set time.
You can start the next Transfer the moment a new file is ready, a request comes in from an external Application, or a previous Transfer completes.
TRANSFER
Configure when to start together with the Transfer itself.
FILE CONDITIONS
Include file conditions in your automation.
You don't need to handle every file in the same Folder the same way every time.
Source Folder → Filter
- *.csv → Analytics
- *.mp4 → Media
- *.log → Archive
Connect Trigger → File Selection → Transfer within a single Flow.
CHAINED TRANSFERS
Use the completion of a Transfer as the starting point for the next Transfer.
As a recurring Transfer expands into a multi-stage Data Movement, the result of one Transfer can become the Trigger for the next stage.
Source → Processing Server → Archive → Distribution
Rather than connecting a separate cron job and Script to each stage, you express and run the sequence between Transfers as a single Flow.
EXTERNAL PROCESSING
Connect external Processing between Transfers.
In real-world operations, another system often needs to perform work after a file arrives.
INNORIX automates the Data Movement, while your existing Application continues to handle its original Processing and Business Logic.
BRANCHING
Branch in multiple directions from a single Flow.
Depending on business conditions, you can deliver to multiple Targets after a single Transfer, or run different next steps.
A → B
Transfer Result
- Condition A → Target A
- Condition B → Target B
- Condition C → Next Process
Combine Sequential Flow and Branch to express the Data Movement of real-world operations at the Transfer level.
DISTRIBUTION & COLLECTION
Send to multiple destinations and collect from multiple sources automatically.
Automation can expand from a 1:1 Transfer to Distribution and Collection.
DISTRIBUTION
A
COLLECTION
D
Here, the detailed operation of Distribution and Collection is handled by each respective Transfer product, while Automation focuses on when and in what order they run.
SUCCESS & RECOVERY
Operate success and Recovery within the same Flow.
Automation isn't complete just by starting a Transfer.
For long-running tasks, where and how to continue when a Transfer is interrupted or some files fail is also part of the Flow.
Flow
- Transfer A — Completed
- Transfer B — Interrupted → Resume
- Transfer C — Completed
- Next Step
Keep already completed Transfers and File Results intact, and continue the Flow from the point where Recovery is actually needed.
RECOVERY PATH
Configure the Recovery Path to match your business conditions too.
You can connect handling for when a problem occurs alongside the normal execution path.
Transfer
- Success → Next Flow
- Failure → Retry
- Failure → Alert
- Failure → Error Flow
Operate Automation as a Transfer Process that carries through to completion, not just a simple execution Scheduler.
REUSABLE FLOWS
Reuse a Flow and apply it to new Sources and Targets.
If the same task repeats across different Servers, Branches, and Projects, you don't need to rebuild the Automation Logic itself.
REUSABLE FLOW
A Flow defines what moves, when, and in what order, while Devices handle the actual Source and Target.
Separate Infrastructure from Automation Logic so recurring tasks can be reused.
DYNAMIC ENDPOINTS
Connect the same Flow even to changing Endpoints.
In Cloud, Kubernetes, AI Compute, and Edge environments, the actual Endpoint can change at execution time.
Endpoint Group
Once your existing Infrastructure and Orchestrator decide which Endpoint to use, INNORIX runs the existing Flow's Transfer against that Endpoint.
Automated File Transfer handles when and in what order to run, while Dynamic Endpoint Transfer connects to the changing actual Target.
FROM SCRIPTS TO FLOWS
Turn Script-based automation into an operable Flow.
Existing file transfer automation can be implemented well enough with Shell Scripts, Batch files, cron, and a Scheduler.
The problem is the point where, as your work grows, Scripts become scattered across multiple Servers and it becomes hard to track Transfer Relationships, Retries, and execution results.
BEFORE
INNORIX
Instead of changing every currently working Script at once, you can convert and expand the Transfers with the heaviest operational burden into Flows first.
ONE RUN
Check a Flow execution as a single Run.
When automation consists of multiple stages, how far the entire task has progressed matters more than simply "the job ran."
RUN-1842
Operators can check as far as they need in the order Flow → Run → Transfer → File.
CALLBACK TO BUSINESS
Connect the Transfer result to the next action in your existing system.
Automation doesn't need to end inside INNORIX.
After receiving the Transfer Result, external systems can continue existing tasks such as Database Update, Approval, Analysis, and Processing.
INNORIX returns the status that a Transfer has actually completed as a result your existing Workflow can use.
API-DRIVEN
Use API and Flow within the same Automation Model.
The starting point of Automation doesn't need to be inside INNORIX either.
Applications and existing systems can request a Transfer.
Whether started by Manual, Schedule, Event, API, or Webhook, the actual Transfer runs on the same Flow and Run Model.
This means you don't need to build internal automation and Application Integration as separate Transfer systems — they can connect within the same Data Movement Layer.
ACROSS TRANSFER TYPES
Automate a variety of Transfers within the same Flow.
Automation isn't tied to a specific File Transfer method.
So Automation is less a product that creates a separate Data Path, and more an execution Layer that connects INNORIX's various Transfers by time, Event, Condition, and order.

SCOPE
This distinction makes clear that the Automation page is not a page that describes every Transfer product, but a product responsible for a Transfer's Triggers and execution relationships.
GET STARTED
Set it up once and expand your Flow as much as you need.
Start by selecting a Source and Target and setting a time to automate A → B.
As your work grows, use File Events and API as Triggers, and connect sequential Transfers from A → B → C, Branches, Distribution and Collection, and external Processing within the same Flow.
Start with simple recurring transfers and scale the same way up to complex operations, keep execution going with Resume and Recovery, and manage the actual completion results with Runs and Receipts.
