Always Append Smaller Destination Files (Resume Transfer)

This setting causes destination files to be resumed when the source file is larger. The program does not verify if the file is still the same, so this option is not usually employed in order to resume FTP transfers. For FTP, use the Auto-Resume feature from the More tab sheet. A good example of where the Auto-Resume feature cannot be used so that you must use the setting "Always Append..." would be log files which get bigger each day, and you only want to copy the new information each time. In some cases, you may need to combine this option with the following one so that the program uses the suitable copying direction.

Always Consider Larger Files Newer (Ignore Timstamp)

This settings causes the timestamp to be ignored, and files to be compared only by their size. This is not normally recommended but may sometimes be necessary.

Obey Speed Limit

If you want to limit the bandwidth that the copying process will use, you can specify it here. Note that while the copying is running, you will still be able to turn this limitation on or off.

Automatically resume incomplete FTP transfers

When this option is selected, files are transfered using a temporary filename at first. Incomplete transfers are retried immediately but if that fails, they can also be retried later on. When the file is complete, it is renamed on the FTP server from the interim name to the correct file name.

Check Existence Of Destination File Again During Copying

Normally, the program checks the existence of the destination file just prior to copying each file, in order to see if it is going to be overwritten. However, some NAS devices respond slowly to these checks if the folder contains many files. Therefore, you can disable this setting in order to speed up the process.
