File Transfer Preferences

The File Transfer tab of the Preferences dialog box contains the following options. You can use them to control how files are managed between the local workstation and the Autodesk® storage service.

• Maximum number of concurrent up loads: (Default = no limit.) Use this option to limit how many jobs are transferred to the Autodesk® storage service at the same time.

  This is useful if you experience network or bandwidth limitations while launching many concurrent jobs.

• Maximum number of concurrent down loads: (Default = no limit.) Use this option to limit how many jobs are transferred from the Autodesk® storage service to the local workstation at the same time.

  This is useful if you experience network or bandwidth limitations while launching many concurrent jobs.

• File transfer chunk size in MBs: (Default = 5 MB.) The Simulation Job Manager divides job files into finite pieces called chunks. Use this option to increase or decrease the size of these chunks.

  Increase the size if you have a very fast network with high bandwidth. Decrease the size if your network is not as fast or if you are experiencing bandwidth issues.

  Note: In the event of a failed transfer (because of a network interruption or workstation reboot), Simulation Job Manager restarts from the last completed data chunk.

• File transfer temporary folder: This is a folder on the local workstation in which temporary files are stored during the file transfer. Change this location if you experience disk space limitations or would rather use a different location.
