Tasks and Destinations

Tasks

A task is one source → destinations pair with its own name, enabled/disabled state, and overwrite mode. You can have as many tasks as you like — each is fully independent.

In the TASKS panel (left side of the main window) you can:

  • New — create a task.
  • Duplicate — copy an existing task (handy for near-identical destinations).
  • Rename — double-click a task, or use the editor's task name field.
  • Remove — delete one or more selected tasks.
  • Toggle the checkbox next to a task to enable/disable it — disabled tasks are skipped by TRANSFER (the "send all enabled" button) but can still be sent individually via Send this task.

The TASKS panel height is resizable (drag the divider) and remembered between runs.

Multiple destinations per task

A single task can send to several destinations at once — any mix of local folders, FTP/FTPS, and SFTP. In the task editor, under Where to send:

  • Add — opens the destination editor (pick type, fill in host/port/credentials or a folder path).
  • Edit — modify the selected destination.
  • Duplicate — copy a destination (e.g. same FTP server, different remote folder).
  • Remove — delete selected destination(s).
  • Each destination has its own enabled checkbox — uncheck one to temporarily skip it without losing its configuration.

When you transfer, every enabled destination receives the same set of files, in parallel up to the Max parallel destinations limit set in Settings.

Saved servers

When adding or editing an FTP/FTPS/SFTP destination, you can save the server's connection details (host, port, username, password, TLS) as a named saved server — so the next time you add a destination pointing at the same server, you pick it from a dropdown instead of retyping everything. Saved servers are stored in settings.json (see Settings Reference) and are independent of any particular task.

Destination groups

If you find yourself adding the same set of destinations to many tasks (e.g. always the same four FTP folders on a device), save that set as a named group:

  • In the task editor, pick your destinations, then Save group... and give it a name.
  • The Group dropdown then lets you load that whole set of destinations into any task with one selection — replacing whatever destinations were there before.
  • Delete group removes a saved group (this doesn't affect tasks that already loaded it — it only removes it from the dropdown for future use).

Presets (source + destination)

A preset saves both a task's source and destinations together, so you can spin up similar tasks quickly:

  • Save current as... stores the current source + destinations as a named preset.
  • The Presets dropdown loads a preset's source and destinations into the current task.
  • Rename / Delete manage existing presets.
  • Reset fields clears the current task editor's source and destinations back to empty, without touching any saved preset.
