Can I edit a transfer's schedule or settings after it's created?

\n

Short answer: Not in place. Create a new transfer with the settings you want, then remove the old transfer's original entry so its schedule stops. Files already in place aren't sent again.

\n

Not in place — a transfer's settings are fixed once it starts. To change the schedule, the folders or any advanced option:

\n
  1. Create a new transfer with New Transfer using the settings you want.
  2. Remove the original entry of the old transfer so its schedule stops.
\n

Because transfers only send what's missing or changed, the new one won't re-send files that are already in place.
