Active Transfer File

As discussed previously, each time a user packet is created, an entry is written to the Active Transfer file, which is displayed in the Control-D File Transfer Control screen. From this screen, the user can perform the following functions:

• Hold packets, that is, prevent transmission.
• Delete packets.
• Re-transmit packets, for example, if errors occurred.
• Print a packet, allowing immediate printing of a packet. When you select this option, a Print window is opened where you can specify printer name, class, destination, and so on, for printing all the reports contained in the packet.
• Examine packet details.
• List all reports contained in a packet.
