Transfers and the queue

Every upload and download goes into the Transfers list at the bottom of the window. Transfers run in the background, so you keep browsing. Each host runs one transfer at a time; different hosts run at the same time.

The Transfers list: two done, one running at 2.4 MB/s, one waiting

What the list shows

Each row shows the host, the name, the way (up for uploads, down for downloads), the size, the progress, the status and the speed. A copy between two servers shows both hosts, “A → B”.

Steps

  • Cancel one transfer: select it and click Cancel. Cancel All stops them all (AirSCP asks first).
  • Retry a failed transfer: select it and click Retry.
  • Remove a row: select it and click Remove. Clear Finished removes all finished rows.
  • See what went wrong: right-click a row and choose Show Details….
  • Find a download: right-click it and choose Show in Finder.

Tips

  • The Dock icon shows how many transfers are waiting or running.
  • While transfers run, your Mac doesn’t go to sleep and doesn’t slow AirSCP down.
  • Quitting AirSCP while transfers run asks first.
  • Hide or show the list: View ▸ Hide Transfers.
