When the connection drops during a transfer

If the connection is lost in the middle of a transfer, AirSCP keeps what was copied. After reconnecting, a single file continues where it stopped instead of starting again.

Steps

  1. Wait: AirSCP reconnects by itself (see Stay connected) and runs the transfers again.
  2. Or select the failed transfer and click Retry.

Tips

  • Single files continue where they stopped. Folders and archive streams start again.
  • While AirSCP reconnects to the server by itself, Retry waits: the cut-off transfers run again on their own once the connection is back.
  • If the kept part is gone, or the file on the other side got shorter, the file is copied again from the start.
  • AirSCP can’t tell whether the source file changed between the tries. Retry only a file that stayed the same.
  • Remove, Clear Finished, Cancel All, disconnecting and quitting throw the kept part away.
