Parallel/Concurrent uploading on AS5304T

Post by andy8 »

Hi,

Each time I upload a file or video into the File explorer interface, it only does one upload at a time.
I need to finish for one file to upload 100% before being able to upload another file.

All the other files are queued, waiting for the prior file to complete its upload.

Is it possible to have concurrent/parallel uploads of files into the File explorer ?
This helps to save upload time too.

Thanks,

The File Explorer is limited to such. If you need parallel/concurrent transfers then you'll need to look for other means. The one I frequently use is a CLI based lftp, even on Windows 11 via WSL. On Windows there's also robocopy.

Thanks @Nazar78, could you kindly share some tutorials/guides of robocopy and how this works with AS5304T please ?

It tried looking online, but can't get anything clear on how both the application and the device may work together

For robocopy you can simply make transfers via the shared folders aka SMB. This either from a mapped drive or use \\your-NAS-hostname-or-I)\share-name if it's not mapped. If you have multiple source directory, you can run them in multiple command prompts. Technically I would write some ps or batch script to accomplish what I need e.g. backups or mirroring multiple destinations.
