The CTI system, on the other hand, automatically resumes file transmission from the point where it left off. This can dramatically reduce transmission time for large files, and for poor dial-up connections, it can make possible large file transfers on lines that would otherwise be incapable of supporting them. In addition to its file transfer advantages, the FastSync Mailbox also provides numerous client-side file management features. Archives retain information about transferred files for a period of one year. This information can be accessed on screen or can be printed in a report at any time.
Backup bins are user-definable disk repositories that store backup copies of transferred files.
This allows the recipient of a file to retrieve a copy of the file locally if the original should get lost or corrupted, as opposed to having to retransmit the file from the server. The client software also permits file transfers to be scheduled for unattended operation by working in conjunction with CTI's feature-rich Event Scheduler and ftpXfer utilities. Client users can also assign priorities to transmitted files, allowing high-priority files or messages to be given transmission priority, and informing the recipient of the urgency. On the receive side, a user can choose to refuse a file, removing it from his or her In-box and informing the sender and administrator that the file has been refused. The Post Office Administrator also tracks all users, sessions, and transactions and provides access to this data through numerous reports.
