File Transfer Menu
File transfer works like a removable USB drive. Instead of a real drive, it creates a Disk
Image on the host computer that holds the files. Only one computer at a time may
access the image. When created (like plugging in the USB drive) the target computer
can read and write to the disk image but the host cannot. The virtual USB drive can be
used by any program or operating system without special drivers.
• Disk images are dynamic. E.g. If you create a 10GB disk and copy a 1MB file it will use
only 1MB plus overhead. Large images are less efficient and may take up more space
when copying many small files.
• Disk Images use the VHD format are compatible with Microsoft Windows and can be
mounted by Windows Explorer.
• ISO CD-ROM and DVD images can also be used for read only storage. You can install
an operating system without burning a real CD.
• You can also drag-and-drop files onto the video window to automatically copy files
and create a temporary image (if none are selected).
• Press the disk icon (
) on the toolbar to open the
Disk Control
window.
