ArcRelay Transfer

ArcRelay Transfer / DOCUMENTATION

ArcRelay Transfer reference

Send a batch of photos or work files and see acceptance, progress and the final destination.

Updated

Current functionality is provided through ArcRelay Suite. Standalone distribution is still being validated; no separate download is promised.

Transfer: nearby file delivery

Select files and a receiving device in Nearby transfer. Once the receiver approves, the interface tracks direction, file lists, progress, destination and history. Use it for an occasional document, screenshot or batch of files.

  • Accept, reject, pause, resume or cancel a current transfer.
  • Configure automatic receipt for paired devices; that convenience does not establish trust or replace pairing.
  • Files are committed to the receiving directory after size and integrity checks, not presented as complete while still arriving.
  • Pause and resume apply within a live application session. After an application exit or interrupted session, inspect history and start a new transfer; cross-restart resumability is not promised.

Remote files and browser file access

Manage shared directories in ArcRelay

The computer holding the files explicitly selects directories to share. Authorized peers can browse, sort, preview and download their contents. Writable shares additionally support uploading files or folders, creating directories, renaming and deleting.

Read access does not imply write access. Stopping a share or revoking permission invalidates the authority behind an old entry point.

Read files in a browser

Browser file access is a separate, default-off service. After enabling it, configure each directory as disabled, LAN-public or password-protected, and decide independently whether it is listed, previewable or downloadable.

The browser supports browsing, previews and downloads, not uploads or file-management writes. A share password and ArcRelay device pairing are different access boundaries.

The current browser file endpoint uses LAN HTTP, not the native QUIC/TLS channel. Password protection does not turn HTTP into encrypted transport. Use it only on trusted networks and do not expose it directly to the public Internet.

Boundaries

Pause and resume apply within the current app session, without cross-restart resumability. Browser file access is a separate HTTP entry for trusted networks.
