Multi-session transfers

Edit online

Multi-session transfers simultaneously transfer large files dividing them into smaller segments through multiple sessions. Instead of relying on a single transfer session, you can distribute the workload across several parallel sessions. This process takes advantage of the combined bandwidth from multiple connections.

Multi-session transfer size

You can specify the minimum total transfer size (default is set to 5GB) that triggers the multi-session transfers. To do this, define the minimum file size in the Multi-session transfer size field. Increase or decrease the transfer size, and select the unit measurement you want to use (available options are Megabytes (MB), Gigabytes (GB), and Terabytes (TB).

Number of sessions

By default, the number of sessions to be started per transfer is set to three. You can select a different option in the Number of sessions drop-down.
