The Ansys FileTransfer Tool is a simple gRPC API for transferring files between a client and a remote server. Its target use case are local Docker deployments or simple remote deployments.
The Ansys FileTransfer Tool is composed of two parts:
- A Python client, which is the tool itself and contained in the ansys-tools-filetransfer repository.
- A C++ server, which is contained in this repository.
WARNING:
The FileTransfer Tool does not provide any security measures. Any file on the server component can be accessed by any client. Without additional security measures, it is unsuited for use over an untrusted network.
Documentation for the latest release of the FileTransfer Tool Server is hosted at FileTransfer Tool Server documentation.
The FileTransfer Tool Server documentation contains these sections:
- Getting started: Explains how to build and run the FileTransfer Tool Server.
- Contribute: Explains how to set up a development environment and provides documentation for the internal classes and functions of the FileTransfer Tool Server for developers who want to understand the inner workings of the server and possibly extend it.
