titleNote

A rule's local, remote, and temporary paths must not be confused with its (virtual) path. The virtual path is only used to identify the rule and not to calculate the actual file paths.


Let's take the example of an incoming transfer where the UDMG Server acts as a server. The file to be transferred is file.txt.

Outgoing transfers work in a similar way but replace the UDMG Server's in folder with its out folder; and replace the Local Server's receive folder with its send folder.

Client transfers also work in a similar way, but without the server-specific folders.
