2.4.6 Transmission settings of the file / folder

1. If you drag a drive to the window, Drive is displayed in the Delivery files / folders column. If you specify a file or folder in a non-local folder or on a drive with a slow access speed (such as an SD card), you could reduce the time required to display the selected target on the delivery window and send it. To reduce the time, select the Use a local copy mode. Check box before selecting a file or folder.

   

   Important

   • If a file or folder in the local environment is specified as a sending target in addition to the target mentioned above, you can select the Use a local copy mode. check box. However, you cannot select this check box only for a file or folder in a non-local folder or on a drive with a slow access speed.

   • If you select the Use a local copy mode. check box and then specify a file or folder in a non-local folder, the target file or folder is copied in the local environment. The message Copying files is displayed during the copy. You cannot perform any other operations.

   • You cannot select or clear the Use a local copy mode. check box after selecting a sending target file or folder. To change the check box status, delete all the sending target files and folders.

   • When you select the Use a local copy mode. check box, there must be enough free space to copy the sending target file or folder to the local environment. Before selecting this check box, make sure that there is enough free space in the folder that is specified by the TEMP environment variable. If there is not enough free space, an error occurs. You must specify an existing folder by the TEMP environment variable. To check the location of the folder specified by the TEMP environment variable, open your machine's System Properties dialog box.

2. Select a sending file, click the New File button .For Mac OS, you can also specify the folder by using the New File button. Note that you can select only one file at a time in the file selection dialog box.

   • In Java Applet:

     

   • In JWS or APP:

     

3. You can specify a file, a folder, and a drive by dragging and dropping them into the list box.

   If you drag and drop a drive to the area, Drive is displayed in the Delivery files / folders column.

   

   Important

   In Mac OS, the Java Applet does not support the drag and drop operation.

   Note

   To cancel the selected file, select the target file in the list and then press the Delete key on the keyboard, or right click the target file and then select the Delete menu item in the pop-up menu. For Mac OS cannot be deleted in the Delete key.

   Important

   • The size of files that can be sent is restricted by delivery rules and the amount of free user disk space for a sender.

   • After you select a file or folder, do not refer to the file or folder or change data or name of the file or folder until sending the file or folder is completed. If you want to refer to or change the file or folder, remove the file or folder from the sending target list and then select the file or folder again. Note that when the file or folder increases or decreases in size due to change of its data after selection, it cannot be sent. Moreover, if the selected file or folder is changed, regardless of data size, a verification error occurs at the time of reception.

   • Depending on the file access method, referring to the file might change the data of the file. In such a case, an error occurs at the time of transmission and reception in the same manner as in the case of data change.

4. Select a compression level from the drop-down list box. Depending on the delivery policy definition specified by the representative user, you might not be able to select a compression level. You can select one of the following:

   • No compression: The files are not compressed.

   • STRONG: The file or files are compressed with a method that provides the best compression ratio.

   • MIDDLE: The file or files are compressed with a method that provides a moderate compression ratio.

   • WEAK: The file or files are compressed with a method that provides the lowest compression ratio.

     

     Important

     • With the delivery policy that uses the Standard compression method, a file that exceeds 3.96 GB (4,252,017,623bytes) cannot be compressed and sent. If the limit is exceeded, the dialog box below appears. If you want to send a file that exceeds 3.96 GB, use the No compression option.

       

     • When sending a folder, make sure that the total number of files and folders inside the sent folder is 65,534 or less when using a delivery policy with the Standard compression method, and 262,144 or less when using a delivery policy with the Extended compression. For details about the delivery policy, contact your system administrator.

     • If the total size of files in a sending target folder exceeds 3.96 GB (4,252,017,623 bytes), use the delivery policy for which the Extended compression method is selected. If the delivery policy for which the Standard compression method is selected is used, a folder that exceeds 3.96 GB cannot be sent. For details about the delivery policy, contact your system administrator.

5. Select the Use a fast communication mode. Check box according to the amount of data transmission.

   

   Note

   If a file transmission fails due to the settings of the proxy server or firewall, you might solve this problem by clearing this check box.
