Feature Overview: File Transfer and Server Cache

Lanview file transfer allows administrators to send files to managed devices through Lanview Server.

This feature area covers Studio-to-Server uploads, Server-managed payload cache and Server-to-Client file sends.

What this feature area includes

File transfer and cache features include:

  • Uploading payloads to Lanview Server.
  • Sending files to devices.
  • Sending files from cached payloads where supported.
  • Tracking file transfer status.
  • Cancelling active transfers.
  • Listing and viewing cache entries.
  • Pinning and unpinning cached payloads where supported.
  • Clearing cache entries.
  • Upload, transfer and cache limits.
  • Transfer and cache cleanup.

Uploads, transfers and cache

A typical file send involves more than one stage:

  1. Studio uploads a payload to Lanview Server.
  2. Lanview Server stores eligible payload data in its managed cache.
  3. Lanview Server dispatches file transfer work to the target Client.
  4. The Client receives the file and reports the result.

The Server cache is not a long-term document repository.

Where to find it

File transfer features may appear in:

  • Device or group file-send actions.
  • Upload, transfer and cache settings where exposed in Studio.
  • Studio Console for file and cache commands.
  • Related package features, although package deployment is a separate feature area.

Permissions and access

Use the current permission catalogue to confirm file-transfer-specific permissions.

Related permission areas include:

  • Server settings view/manage for upload, transfer and cache settings.
  • Console access for command-line file/cache operations.
  • Device or group targeting permissions where files are sent to devices or groups.

Policy and settings

Upload limits, transfer limits, cache retention, cache size and cleanup settings are Server-level settings.

Transfer limits do not use a general group or device inheritance model.

Audit behaviour

Lanview audits file send, upload completion, file cache clear and file cleanup events where catalogued.

Filenames, destinations and transfer results can be sensitive. Do not use file transfer for credentials or recovery material, and protect confidential documents appropriately.
