Multiple Transfer Tasks with AceFTP Pro
By Dominic Tremblay

AceFTP Pro's Views can be very powerful. In this lesson, we'll show you how to use Views to run multiple transfer tasks. This simple mechanism can enhance your productivity greatly when you transfer files or when you need to copy files locally.

When you first start AceFTP Pro, you see a single view on the left side that represents your local folder hierarchy. A second view is created when you open a connection to the server on the right side.


Simultaneous downloads from multiple servers
The good news is that you can create as many views as you like, either on the local or the server side, without the interface being overcrowded. For example, you can open several views on the server side where each one is a different FTP server. AceFTP Pro allows you to transfer files simultaneously to/from each view.


Multiple views of the same server connection

Views can also be created on the same server connection. Once a server connection is established, click the Add copy of this view icon located on the toolbar to create another view. This allows you to initiate transfer of files from the same server but from different directories (files can be from the same directory, but there's no need to do that).

Several views can be created on the local side as well. Hence you can initiate uploads from different local folders to the remote server (or servers).


Local-to-local file transfers

Copying of local files also proves easier with AceFTP Pro. With Windows Explorer, you have to select your files, navigate through the folder hierarchy, and paste them in the destination folder. If you have to do that repeatedly, it can be cumbersome. Here's the trick with AceFTP Pro:

  1. Select the local directory where the files you want to copy are located.
  2. Create a copy of the local view by clicking the Add copy of this view icon located on the toolbar.
  3. Drag the new tab view to the right side.
  4. Select the destination folder on the right-side view.
  5. Copy files from the left side to the right side

Server-to-server file transfers

You can do server-to-server transfers just as easily. You simply need to open two server views and drag one of them to the left side. Then you can transfer files from one side to the other. Please note that the servers must support server-to-server file transfers (FXP); otherwise transfers won't work.

As you can see, many combinations are possible with AceFTP Pro's Views. It allows you to do many tasks simply and is very convenient for some situations.
