tag multiples files or folder to copy

[ragornette]

let me know if I'm wrong
but is it possible to make a queue copy?
like tagging some files, folder in different folder to differents places but like a queue (for example with a ftp client).
is it existing?
is it planned?

Thanks

thanks a lot
it's strange the way it acts but will try deeply now!
I didn't imagine like that

I would imagine something like shift + F5 ( for example) and it goes directly to a batch list and waiting my start to begin.

What happens if I launch 5 big copy in the background? The computer will slow down. I just want a copy after the other but with the possiblity to change the source and destination between each copy.

As you may already have recognized, the Background Transfer Manager processes one file after another, which grants a low CPU and HD load.

You can even specify different destinations for each set of files you are adding to BTM.



If you want more control over what is copied to where, you can add the selected files to a list (recommended for reusing the filesets)

- using cm_ftpaddtolist command
. This will add the filename to a listfile (unfortunately the destination path is not stored for local file system)

or

- using cm_CopyFullNamesToClip command and paste it into a texteditor, creating a file).

The list file supports also local copying and moving, you can modify the list manually :

e.g.
copy c:\source\somefile.txt -> c:\target\someotherfile.txt
move c:\source\somefile.txt -> c:\target\someotherfile.txt

Finally start the transfer with cm_ftpdownloadlist command.

It never occurred to me to maintain a permanent FTP list to copy files to another local folder.

Another great TC function already present. And here I was looking for alternatives.

Well, it didn't work. Timed out on a local folder.

Sorry my fault, wrong syntax
You just have to add an additional ":" !

Correct :

copy:c:\source\somefile.txt -> c:\target\someotherfile.txt
move:c:\source\somefile.txt -> c:\target\someotherfile.txt
