Command - Upload File(s)​

The upload command sends one or more files and creates recursive folders if necessary.

Upload > File filter sub tab

For upload, VisualCron uses the standard file filter to specify files that should be uploaded.

Upload sub tab

Delete source file after copy

When checked, the local source file is deleted after it has been uploaded. Default is unchecked.

Destination folder

The remote folder on the server where the file(s) should be uploaded. If the server supports relative paths, specify a path such as /topfolder/subfolder. Use the folder browse button to select a folder from the server. Default is /.

Overwrite options

Controls what happens when a file with the same name already exists at the destination. Options:

  • Overwrite - always if existing** (default) — always replace the destination file
  • Overwrite - if newer** — replace only if the source file is newer
  • Overwrite - if destination size is** — replace based on size comparison (activates the size dropdown below)
  • Append if destination is smaller - otherwise overwrite** — append bytes until size matches source; if not smaller, overwrite
  • Append if destination is smaller - otherwise overwrite if newer** — append bytes until size matches; if not smaller, overwrite only if source is newer
  • Append if destination is smaller - otherwise skip** — append bytes until size matches; if not smaller, skip the file
  • Append if existing - otherwise create** — append to an existing file, or create a new file if it does not exist
  • Append if existing - otherwise skip** — append to an existing file; skip if the file does not exist at the destination
  • Do not overwrite if existing** — skip the file if it already exists at the destination

Overwrite size

Active only when Overwrite options is set to "Overwrite - if destination size is". Specifies the size condition for overwriting. Options: Same, Smaller, Larger, Smaller or larger, Different.

Resume if transfer failed. Try resuming

When checked, VisualCron appends to the partially uploaded file and retries on failure. Set the number of retry attempts and the interval in seconds between retries. Default for both is 999.

Keep modified/created date

When checked, the uploaded file's modified and created timestamps are set to match those of the local source file. Default is unchecked.

Override transfer type set in Connection

When checked, the transfer type for this command overrides the setting configured in the Connection. Select the desired transfer type from the dropdown.

Maximum number of threads

The number of simultaneous upload threads. Default is 1, maximum is 8.
