3. Create transfer task 

We provide 3 transfer methods:

  • General transfer task: manually upload your local files to the storage, or download files from the storage .
  • Sync transfer task: regularly synchronize your local directory to the storage, or regularly synchronize from the storage directory to your local. You can also synchronize your local directory with the directory on the storage in both directions to keep the directories on both sides consistent.
  • Peer to peer transfer task: you can send your local files directly to other partners' devices without uploading the files to the storage first.

3.1 General task

Upload files or folders

  • In the [My files] , you can click [Upload] or drag and drop the files to upload the files or folders you want to upload.
  • You can view the upload transfer task progress in [General Task].

Download files or folders

  • Select the files or folders you want to download and click [Download].
  • You can view the download transfer task progress in [General Task].

View transfer tasks

  • In the [General Task], you can view manual upload/download transfer tasks and transfer history.
  • You can pause, delete, start, and view the transfer details of the task in progress.

 

3.2 Sync task

  • In the Sync Task,  Click the [Create Sync Task] .
  • Enter the task name of the sync task, the source directory path to be synchronized,  the target path, the sync frequency and other optional configuration. Then click [Create].

Function Description
Task name The name of a synchronization task is displayed in the task list after it is successfully created.
Direction

1) One-way

  • Synchronize folder from the server to the local;
  • Synchronize folder locally to the server.

When the source path is the server,the folder is synchronized from the server to the local.When the source path is the computer ,the folder is synchronized from the local to the server.

2) Two-way

Raysync service will conduct two-way synchronization between radium speed server and local directories.

After the two-way sync is enabled, Raysync will first upload the locaI directory files to the server directory, and then download the files of the server directory to the local directory, so as to maintain the consistency between the server directory and the local client directory files.

Source path

Select the source folder path to be synchronized,support two-way.

When the source path is the computer, it is a synchronous upload. When the source path is the server, it is a synchronous download. When two-way synch is used, the source and target paths are not distinguished.

 When selecting folder, you can select multiple paths of the same level to transfer.

Target path

Select the target path for synchronization to the server or local.

Sync schedule

Select the start time of the synchronization task,support two synchronization frequency settings.

1) Synchronize once a day at a fixed time.

For example, select "Daily 18:22", the synchronization task will start synchronization at 18:22 every day.

2)Synchronize every time period.

For example, select Every 60 seconds,the synchronization task will start synchronization every 60 seconds.

3)Synchronize once only.

For example,select"Once 12:00",the synchronization task will start synchronization once at 12:00.

4)Synchronize by week

If one or more dates are specified in a week,the synchronization will be performed at a certain time of the specified week.

For example,if you set 20:14 synchronization on Monday and Wednesday every week,you can synchronize at 20:14 on Monday and Wednesday.

Security-enable encryption transfer

Use encrypted transfer to make transfer more secure.

File Handling-Preserve modification time Enabled
Enabled: After the synchronization task is completed, the modification time of the file is the same with the local modification time.
Disabled: After the synchronization task transfer is completed, the modification time of the file is the same with the current client transfer completion time.
File Handling-
Only transfer source files and folders in the source directory
Enabled: The folder of the first layer will not be transmitted
Disabled: All files and folders in the directory will be transferred.
File Handling-

Delete target file synchronously when source deleted

Enabled: if the file of the source or destination path is deleted, the other party's file will also be deleted synchronously.
For example, if the local directory A is synchronized to the server, if the "test" file in the A directory is deleted, the "test" file on the server will be deleted synchronously.
Tips: Root directory is not supported; "Delete Synchronously" and "Transfer source files only" can
notenabled both.
File Handling-Preserve file ACL attribute
It is a mechanism for permission control of files or directories. It can control the access permissions of users or groups to files or directories. Acls enable administrators to finer control file or directory access permissions to better protect system security. Retention is only supported between the same systems.
File Handling-
Check before transfer start ,It will not start until file is no change in 3~30s
The transfer will be checked once at the beginning of the transfer, when the file has not changed within 3-30 years, the file will actually start the transfer. When the file is changed within the specified time, the file will not be transferred. Avoid transferring files that are in use and ensure the integrity of the transferred files.
File Handling-
The processing mode of source files after synchronization is complete
1, after synchronization, automatically delete the source directory (for synchronous upload, download)
 
1) Delete all source directories and files
 
For example, after the synchronization is complete, directory A and the files in directory A are automatically deleted.
 
2) Retain the source directory structure and delete only the files in directory A. Neither directory A nor the directories in Directory A are deleted
 
2. After synchronization, transfer the source file and delete it (only applicable to upload)
 
The uploaded source file is automatically transferred to the path xx after xx hours, and the source file is automatically cleared after xx days.

 

File Handling-
Synchronous transfer Supports synchronization when the source file is updated
Synchronize only when the source file has been modified or added, which can avoid unnecessary duplicate synchronization operations
File Handling-handling of existing target files
 When the target file already exists and content is inconsistent with the source file,you have two
updatesways
1) Overwrite target file
Directly overwrite existing file contents
2) Overwrite if sou rse newer
Overwrite if the last modification time of the uploaded or downloaded file is newer than the time of the target file.
3) Append to the target file (Notapplicable to object storage)
Append the new file contents to the end of the target file
4) Rename file
Rename the source file when the source file has the same name as the target file
For example: if test exists in the target path, if a test with different content is uploaded, the newly uploaded file will be renamed to test(1).
Filtering-transfer files and folder

Supports setting files that are allowed to be transferred or filtered. Files and folder that meet the conditions will be filtered or transferred.

Supports the use of wildcards. For example, if you need to filter all files starting with "test" during transfer, you can enable the blacklist and enter test*.

Filtering-filter files of a specified size filter  Files file whose size exceeds the set size when transferring

 

After successful creation, you can see the transfer status of the sync task in the list. You can pause, start, delete, view task transfer details, and edit sync task configuration.

Automatically detect new versions and prompt to upgrade when a new version is available

Transfer Download Path Support setting the default download path and manually selecting the path when downloading.
Task and file parallel

Task parallel: Setting the maximum number of parallel upload tasks and the maximum number of parallel download task, up to 10. 

Parallel files per task: Setting parallel files per task, the default is automatic, and the parallel files per task is automatically calculated based on the number of cpu cores.

Bandwidth

 

Limit max speed

Upload limit: maximum upload speed for a single task

Download limit: maximum download speed for a single task

If not set, the maximum speed of the local bandwidth will be used for transfer by default.

Limit min speed

When the network condition is unstable and the current client upload transmission speed does not fully utilize the bandwidth, you can manually set the minimum sending speed to increase the transmission speed.

Minimum Send speed: indicates the minimum upload speed of the current client

Minimum Accept speed: The minimum download speed of the current client

(Usually set to 1/2 of the bandwidth with the current transmitting client. If the bandwidth of the transmission server is smaller than the current client bandwidth, it is set to the bandwidth value of the server)

Transfer Security

 

Enable encrypted for transfer 

Enable encrypted transmission, encrypt the transmission process, and ensure transmission security.

Enable hash verification

Enabling hash verification can verify every single file when upload or download, and ensure the integrity and correctness of files. If the hash check of the local file and the server file are inconsistent, the file will be retransmitted. If the hash check of the two files is consistent, the transmission will continue.

Transfer Protocol

Priority to use TCP

When your network condition is good, you can enable TCP transmission. The tcp transmission mode will be preferentially used during the transmission after enabled. Ensure the reliability of file transfer.

Peer to Peer 

Save path when receiving file

Set the default save path for accepted files.

Incremental Transfer

Enable Rsync verification

If the local file and the server file Rsync check result are inconsistent, the file will be retransmitted; If only part of the two files is not the same, the consistent part will be skipped and the different part will be transferred. If the two file have the same Rsync verification, It will continue to transfer. 

Advanced

 

 

 

Enable data compression during transfer

When enabled, the data will be compressed before being transfer during transfer to improve transfer efficiency.

Preserve the full structure of the source directory when upload to the target

When uploading files, a complete directory structure will be automatically created on the target side.

UDP packet size

When the network bandwidth is good, it is recommended to set the large the UDP packet size, the better the transfer effect.

Timeout

Increasing the timeout time can maintain the effect of Raysync transfer when the network is poor.

File Handling
