File Transfer Policy Group (Remote Control)

The following policies related to file transfers appear in the File Transfer policy group and pane. You can modify policy parameter values by double-clicking a policy to display the Setting Properties dialog.

Buffer size

Specifies the size of the file transfer read buffer in bytes. Increasing this value improves file transfer performance at the expense of Remote Control performance during file transfer operations.

Default: 32768

Transfers allowed

Specifies the host login states under which file transfers are allowed. Valid values are as follows:

Always allowed

Specifies that file transfers are allowed regardless of the host's login state.

When logged on or locked

Specifies that file transfers are allowed when a user is locally logged on to the host computer, even if the desktop is locked.

Continue existing transfers when locked

Specifies that file transfers are allowed when a user is logged on to the host computer and the desktop is not locked. However, if a transfer is in progress when the desktop is locked, it is allowed to continue. New transfers cannot be initiated when the desktop is locked.

Only when logged on

Specifies that file transfers are only allowed when a user is logged on to the host and the desktop is not locked.

Default: Continue existing transfers when locked

User account

Indicates whether file transfers are subject to the permission restrictions of the locally logged on user, if any. If False, the file transfer feature allows full access to all files on the local computer, but any mapped network drives on the host computer will not be accessible through file transfer.

If True, access still falls back to full local computer access when no user is logged on; however, file transfers can be prohibited when no user is logged on using the Transfers allowed policy.

Default: True
