Restart checkpoint (-CKPT) command

The -CKPT command specifies the byte interval for checkpoint support, which restarts interrupted transmissions at the last valid checkpoint point and reduces the time to retransmit the file.

This command is optional. If you omit it, the default is the value that is specified by the ckpt.interval parameter in the Sterling Connect:Direct® initialization parameters file.
