Managing File Transfer Tasks

A bastion host supports fast operations. You can quickly upload system disk files or local files to paths of many managed hosts at a time. You can upload one or more files to multiple hosts with just one file transfer task and the system returns the execution results.

This topic describes how to manage file transfer tasks, including creating, executing, and stopping file transfer tasks, and viewing task execution results.

Constraints

  • Fast operation is supported by professional editions only.
  • Fast operation tasks apply only to Linux hosts using the SSH protocol.
  • Currently, Fast operation tasks cannot be performed on Windows host, database, or application resources.

Prerequisites

  • You have the management permissions for the Fast Operation module.
  • You have obtained the access permissions for the resources.
  • The network between the managed hosts and the bastion host is connected.

Procedure

  1. Log in to your bastion host.
  2. Choose Operation > Fast Operation > File Transfer Console to go to the File Transfer Console tab.

    After the file transfer task is executed, check the execution results. To view execution results of historical operation tasks, see Viewing Execution Logs

    1. In the execution result area, enter a keyword in the search box to quickly query the task execution result by resource name, execution result, or execution account.
    2. Click Expand to view the execution results of the corresponding task.
    3. Click Export to download the corresponding execution logs in CSV format.
