It can also resume transfers that were started and then interrupted. This will start the transfer at the point where it was interrupted to avoid the need to resend data that was previously transferred. When a transfer is resumed, it is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the files chosen are the files on which a transfer was interrupted and that neither of those files have been altered since the original transfer. If the user erroneously resumes a transfer to a file, that file can be corrupted. Performing a file transfer 1. (Recommended – otherwise you must type in the filename.) Select local file. 2.

Aborting a transfer takes a few seconds, so if you abort a small transfer, or one that is near completion, the transfer may complete before the transfer is halted. Comparing file sizes will show if the transfer aborted or completed. The transfer can be resumed later and will start up where it stopped. Solving Problems Using File Mover
