File to File Transfers

You can use the cfsend or cfrecv command to send or receive a file.

At a minimum, you must specify the following parameters to perform a file to file transfer:
  • Node
  • LocalFileName
  • RemoteFileName
  • UserId (If you define a profile, this parameter is not needed.)
  • Password (If you define a profile, this parameter is not needed.)
For more descriptions on these parameters, see Minimum Transfer Parameters.
Note:

If you set the RequiredNodeDefinition parameter to Y in the SERVER section of the config.txt file, you must define nodes for all transfer requests. For more information, see Transfer Using Nodes and Transfer Using Profiles.

If you set the security policy to HIPAA in either the config.txt file or in a node definition, this setting always takes precedence.

If you set the Encryption parameter to Never and the Compression parameter to Never in a node definition on the initiator side, these settings always take precedence.
