File Transfer Recovery and other options
Three options must be enabled for File Transfer Recovery
to work effectively. All three appear in File Transfer Options
(Options menu) and are enabled by default.
Enable File Transfer Recovery Located on the Copy/
Move tab, this box must be checked for File Transfer
Recovery to occur at all.
Use SpeedSync on All File Transfers Located on the
Performance tab, this box must be checked to allow the
transfer to resume with the missing part of a file. When it is
cleared, the entire file must be sent again.
Transfer Only If Files Are Newer Located on the Filter
tab, this box must be checked so that files successfully cop
-
ied before the interruption are not copied again.
When a transfer is interrupted, File Transfer Recovery cre-
ates a file in the target folder containing whatever part of the
file has been transferred successfully. The file is named
!LAPLINK.TSI.
When File Transfer Recovery resumes a transfer, this file is
compared with the source file to determine what’s missing.
Once the file is complete, !LAPLINK.TSI is given its original
name. (If you do not use File Transfer Recovery to resume
the transfer, the file remains in the folder and can be safely
-
deleted.
