===== 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.

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.
