File transfer is used to send files from one location to another and to synchronize files, directories, or drives. The file transfer task is a secure alternative to File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
Transferring files directly between two systems, neither of which is the management server nor the browser system, is not supported. However, you can transfer a file from one system to the management server or browser system, and then transfer that file to another system.
