A transfer request record is created either when there is a download or an upload initiated by a partner client that is connected to a local UDMG Server or when a UDMG Client is triggering a request on the interfaces: CLI, REST API, UAC UDMG File transfer task (see GET a file from an SFTP server). Usually, a transfer request is associated with a single file, where the filename is provided by the client and the transfer rule determines the path.

...

Example of a command line with the UDMG Client to fetch the files matching the pattern “wince*.png” from the remote partner “rebex” (see 677448954 Tutorial - Creating a PeSIT Partner).

Panel

$ udmg-client transfer add --way receive --partner rebex --login demo --rule rebex_receive_example --info udmg_xfer_wildcard:true --file 'wince*.png'
The transfer of file wince*.png was successfully added with ID 160.

The result is the creation of a transfer record with the wildcard pattern, which executes as follows:

Step 1

Connect to the remote partner.

Step 2

List the files that are matching with the pattern on the remote path.

Step 3

Create a child transfer record for each of the files.

...

The transfer is set to planned status and is independent

...

of the parent request.

...

Step 4Terminate and keep the list of files and child requests in its transfer info metadata.
Step 5

Additionally, the file size field is set to the number of matched files (and child requests).

Step 6

The child requests are processed independently

...

of the parent request and can be paused, resumed, or

...

canceled on their own.

In this example, the transfer with ID 160 is the parent request, with the wildcard pattern, while 161 and 162 are the children requests for the 2 matching files: 'winceclient.png' and 'winceclientSmall.png'.
