Transfer Manager

When a transfer is started from Send & Receive or by Download Shared Files, it will be added to the Transfer Manager. The manager tracks the status of each transfer in real time.

The Transfer Monitor provides access to review and manage ongoing, finished and failed transfers.

Transfers are shown in a sortable list that displays various columns of status information about each transfer. The list includes active transfers, as well as transfers that have finished or have failed due to an error.

Tip

You can quickly switch between the Send & Receive screen and the Transfers Monitor via the Control,⌘ + ← and Control,⌘ + → keyboard shortcuts.

The Transfer Manager supports extended selection. There are several ways to select multiple items.

Columns

Status

The Status column shows a summary status of the transfer.

Tip

If the Status column indicates that the transfer has failed due to an error, a description of the error may be found in the Transfer Details. To open the Transfer Details for the failed transfer, double-click on its row in the Transfer Monitor, or select a row, and press Space.

Tip

If the Status column indicates that the transfer is not responding, this means that JetStream was unable to detect any network activity for over a minute. In some cases, a transfer may recover from this state, but it is more likely that the transfer will need to be canceled, deleted, and restarted.

Source
The Source column displays the name of the sending Location (and the host name of its server).
Destination
The Destination column displays the name of the receiving Location (and the host name of its server).
Progress
The Progress column shows whether the transfer is being actively sent, or if it has failed with an error.
Size

Source User

Rate

The Rate column shows the current effective rate at which the transfer is being received. The configuration of the transfer, as well as network conditions, will affect the effective transfer rate.

If this rate drops to 0 (zero) while the transfer indicates it is “Sending”, then there has been an interruption between the Origin and Destination Locations. The JetStream application will continue to adjust the sending characteristics from the Origin Location until a connection is reestablished.

Max Rate
The Max Rate column shows the maximum send rate specified by Send Rate in the ᐧᐧᐧ Menu.
Priority
