EnterpriseSCHEDULE provides predefined Secure File Copy set of job templates that allow single file transfer, wild card file transfer and complete directory tree transfer such that files can be moved between any of your systems running Windows, Linux, Solaris, AIX or HP-UX. You can choose to push the files across or pull the files across using a secure shell transfer.
These job templates utilize rsync and ssh as the underlying technologies that makes the transfers happen. The rsync utilities are freely available under the GNU license and can be used on any system. ssh allows for encrypted and keyed communications between two systems and is included in all Unix systems. How to obtain and install these underlying utilities is described in a later section. This technology allows these jobs to only copy the files and parts of files that have changed since the last time this was done. Thus optimizing the transfer.
The provided job templates make it easy to setup and create push or pull file transfers. These jobs will, when executing, perform the copy operation and then exit. By using the Rescheduling settings for the job this can be repeated hourly, daily or on any schedule that is appropriate.
Once the components are installed, new jobs using these templates can easily be created. To do so right click on a folder where you want to place this job and select the desired type from the Secure File Copy submenu.
