FASTCopy transfer simulation

Question:

I would like a way of fully simulating a file transfer to ensure that usernames / passwords are correct, and that any pre/post transfer commands will be properly executed. Is there a way to do this?

Answer:

The FASTCopy -probe qualifier will fully simulate a file transfer and display the results, without actually transferring any data.

To test user credentials (including ensuring proxy / virtual users are correctly setup) use the following sample command:

fcopy E:\temp\a.a \\localhost\E:\temp\c.c -user=administrator -password=SOMEPASS -replace -report -probe=login

FCOPY-S-PROBE, FASTCopy probe (login) operation was finished successfully

To run a simulation to ensure that pre/post transfer commands will be properly executed use the following sample command (the commands will not actually be executed):

fcopy E:\temp\*.* \\localhost\E:\temp\*.* -user=administrator -password=SOMEPASS -replace -report=detailed -local_pre_command=E:\batch\local_pre_command.bat -remote_pre_command=E:\batch\remote_pre_command.bat -local_command=E:\batch\local_post_command.bat -remote_command=E:\batch\remote_post_command.bat -probe=(scan,all_commands)

FCOPY-I-BANNER , Evaluation License

FCOPY-I-R_PRE_COMMAND, pre transfer Remote command initiated
FCOPY-I-L_PRE_COMMAND, pre transfer Local command initiated
FCOPY-I-L_COMMAND, local command initiated

You must ensure that the batch files exist. (on UNIX, ensure they have the +x attribute).
