Using map files to copy files and folders

A map file is a text file that creates a mapping between source and target files and folders. Using a map file gives you greater flexibility in the way that files and folders are copied, either from one computer to another or to Active Directory®.

Formatting Rules
•
Source and target directory must be on different computers, copying from one location to another on the same computer (even if the source and target are on different volumes) prevents the folders from being mapped.
•
The full path for the source and target folders must be entered into the map file.
•
For folders, the source and target path in the map file must have a trailing backslash (not necessary for files).
•
The target directory does not need to be created ahead of time. If the folder on the target directory does not exist prior to running the copy job, Secure Copy creates the target folder and copies the contents of the source folder into the new target folder.
Examples
•
To copy a file: C:\test\testfile.txt=\\targetserver\test\testfile.txt
•
To copy folders: C:\source\=\\ad3\e$\scy test\target\
•
To rename a file: C:\test\testfile.txt=\\targetserver\test\newtestfile.txt
•
To divert a file: C:\test\testfile.txt=\\targetserver\newDir\testfile.txt
•
To rename a folder: C:\test\=\\targetserver\C$\newfolder\

Copying encrypted files

If Secure Copy cannot encrypt the copied file, you can choose to create an unencrypted file on the target. When copying a file that is encrypted on the source, Secure Copy attempts to encrypt the file on the target using the Encrypting File System (EFS). If Secure Copy is unable to encrypt the file on the target, the copy will fail unless this option is selected.

To copy encrypted files
1
Click Jobs, and expand the job
2
Click Other File Options.
3
Select Allow copy of encrypted files as unencrypted if encryption fails.

Copying off-line/stub files

By default, offline/stub files are skipped in a copy job. You can choose to copy files that are on an offline storage device, resulting in the original file being recalled from offline storage.

To copy offline/stub files
1
Click Jobs, and expand the job.
