Transfers / Connections

You can manage Transfer & Connection settings on our application by going to Preferences -> Transfers / Connections

What can be managed here

• Maximum Simultaneous Transfers (FTP / FTPS)

  • Defaulted to 3 transfers

  • If you have a slow internet connection you may want to change this to 1 or 2.

  • If you have a fast internet connection you may want to change this to 5 or even up to 10.

  • Be aware some FTP / FTPS connections can limit the number of open connections streams to a max of 3 (each transfer will use 1 stream, your open connection will also use 1 stream, this means you'll need to limit this to 2 transfers at a time).

• Maximum Simultaneous Transfers (SFTP / SSH)

  • Defaulted to 5 transfers

  • A higher transfer limit is usual on an SFTP / SSH connection as this can handle more streams than a normal FTP / FTPS connection as it is rarely limited.

• Max Transfer Attempts

  • Each transfer attempt will try to create a directory (if needed) and will send a new request to the server to accept the file (if you have a problematic server you may want to set a high number here).

  • Files / Folders can largely fail due to permission issues on your server
