The FlexTk file management toolkit provides a large number of advanced multi-stream file copy and rule-based
data migration capabilities allowing one to copy vast amounts of files fast, efficiently and reliably. FlexTk
allows one to copy files including access control lists (ACLs), security attributes, ownership information,
timestamps and file attributes. In addition, the user is provided with a large number of flexible copy
performance tuning and fault tolerance options allowing one to copy data at various speeds, recover failed
copy operations and minimize the potential impact on running production systems.
In addition to the GUI application, FlexTk Ultimate provides a command line utility allowing one to use all
the features of the FlexTk file management toolkit from an OS shell window. The FlexTk command line tool
provides power users and system administrators with the ability to automate all the available file management
operations and to integrate FlexTk features into batch files and shell scripts. The FlexTk command line tool
is located in <ProductDir>/bin directory.
Options:
-move
Instructs FlexTk to perform a move operation.
-verify
Instructs FlexTk to verify each file after copy.
-streams <StreamCount>
Specifies the number of simultaneous copy streams.
-file_scanner <sequential or parallel>
Specifies the file scanning mode: sequential or parallel.
Use the parallel scanning mode when copying multiple input
directories located on a RAID array or multiple disk drives.
-file_delay <delay in milliseconds>
Instructs the FlexTk copy engine to insert a delay of X ms.
after each copied file. Use this option when you need to
slowly copy data to or from a busy production system in order
to minimize the potential performance degradation.
-block_delay <delay in milliseconds>
Instructs the FlexTk copy engine to insert a delay of X ms.
after each data block. Use this option when you need to
slowly copy data to or from a busy production system in order
to minimize the potential performance degradation.
-retry_count <RetryCount>
Instructs the FlexTk copy engine to retry failed copy operations.
Use this option when copying data over an unreliable network
connection or when some source files may be locked during
the copy operation.
-retry_delay <retry delay in seconds>
Specifies the time delay between copy retry operations.
-max_pending_task <MaxPendingTask>
Specifies the maximum number of pending retry operations.
-overwrite_mode <OverwriteMode>
Specifies the file overwrite mode: overwrite or skip.
-copy_dacl
Instructs to copy files' access control lists (DACL).
-copy_sacl
Instructs to copy files' security control lists (SACL).
-copy_owner
Instructs to copy files' user/group information.
-copy_time
Instructs to copy files' last access/write/creation times.
-copy_attr
Instructs to copy files' read-only/system/hidden attributes.
-copy_all
Instructs to copy files' DACL, SACL, ownership, times and attributes.
-v
This parameter instructs FlexTk to show the product major version,
minor version, revision and build date.
-help
This parameter instructs FlexTk to show the command line usage information.
