+===== Transferring slides (upload/download) =====
+PMA.core provides built-in upload- and download-capabilities. While not as feature-rich as [[https://www.pathomation.com/pma.transfer|PMA.transfer]]; if you quickly want to copy a large volume of slides from one server to another, PMA.core has you covered.
+{{::blog_post_44_60.png?600|}}
+One unique feature of slide transfer in PMA.core is that you can use this to copy slides [[storage_management|from anywhere to anywhere]]; Migrating your old FTP server to updated S3-based cloud storage is a breeze. You can do it remotely, and asynchronously: just close your browser after initiating the operation and check back later.
+See [[https://realdata.pathomation.com/three-ways-to-transfer-your-virtual-slides/|our blog article]] about [[https://realdata.pathomation.com/three-ways-to-transfer-your-virtual-slides/|other means to transfer slides]] to and from PMA.core.
+==== Making a connection ====
+{{:upload_dialog.png?400|}}
+You can add one or more destination servers through this dialog. PMA.core supports upload of slides to another PMA.core and to your My Pathomation account.
+To add a remote PMA.core server you need:
+  * Name: Friendly name of your choice as a reminder of which server these settings refer to
+  * URL: The remote PMA.core url
+  * Username: The remote username
+  * Password: The remote password
+{{::my_pathomation_connection.jpg?400|}}
+For My Pathomation connection you just need your credentials:
+  * Name: Friendly name of your choice
+  * Username: My Pathomation username
+  * Password: My Pathomation password
+==== Uploading Slides =====
+{{ ::select-slides.jpg?600 |}}
+After adding a remote server it will show up in the remote server list. To upload slide you simply:
+  - Select a slide from the left hand treeview(local pma.core)
+  - Select a folder from the right hand treeview (remote server)
+  - The upload button should be enabled now, so click on it
+  - Repeat for as many slides as you want
+Each upload task will be shown on the final column of the page, along with all the relevant information about it
+  * Status: The status of the task i.e. Running/Queued/Errored
+  * Server: The destination server name
+  * Slide: The slide name
+  * Destination: The destination folder
+  * Progress Bar: the uploaded percentage
+  * # of #: The counting number and the current count of queued tasks
+  * Cancel: Click to cancel a running task
+  * Retry: Click to retry a paused/errored task
+The upload operation(s) will be queued and performed by the PMA.core server, so you can leave this page and return at a later time to see the progress made.
+{{::blog_post_44_60.png?600|}}
+==== Other Actions ====
+{{ ::actions-remote-server.jpg?400 |}}
