Transfer Files (Data Management)

Summary

Transfers files between a file system and a cloud storage workspace.

Usage

• This tool supports hosted image products in the cloud.

• The tool does not support file transfers to or from geodatabases.

• When the tool is run in a server context, such as a published geoprocessing service, it can accept the data store's relative path, for example, /cloudStores/s3cloudstore/datafolder.
