Transferring slides (upload/download)

PMA.core provides built-in upload- and download-capabilities. While not as feature-rich as PMA.transfer; if you quickly want to copy a large volume of slides from one server to another, PMA.core has you covered.

One unique feature of slide transfer in PMA.core is that you can use this to copy slides 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 our blog article about other means to transfer slides to and from PMA.core.

Uploading Slides

After adding a remote server it will show up in the remote server list. To upload slide you simply:

  1. Select a slide from the left hand treeview(local pma.core)
  2. Select a folder from the right hand treeview (remote server)
  3. The upload button should be enabled now, so click on it
  4. 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

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.
