With ExpertAssist File Transfer, you can quickly and securely transfer files between the local and the remote computer. All data transferred between the two computers is compressed and encrypted by the Java applet, so you can be sure that it is secure.
The file transfer screen is divided into two panels:
Figure 7: File Transfer window.
You can use the icons in the toolbar at the top of the screen or your keyboard and mouse to operate the File Transfer applet. There’s always an active and inactive panel and you can switch easily between them with the Tab key.
Using the File Transfer applet is very helpful when synchronizing your data. If ExpertAssist notices identical data on the source and destination locations, it will prompt you to choose whether you want to overwrite/update the destination file with the old/new one or skip and continue synchronizing data. It is also possible to apply selected action to all files that will match the same criteria.
