File Transfer (Android)

The File Transfer job will remotely transfer the files to the enrolled device(s) or group(s).

This feature in an enterprise management system allows administrators to remotely transfer files to enrolled devices or groups of devices. This functionality is particularly useful in scenarios where administrators need to distribute files, updates, patches, or any other data to a single or large number of devices.

note

This feature will only function if the Storage permission is enabled on the device.

To create a file transfer job and deploy it to the device(s) or group(s) remotely, follow these steps:

  1. On the SureMDM Web Console, navigate to Jobs > New Job > Android > File Transfer.  

  2. On the Configure Job screen, enter a Job Name and click Add.

  3. Configure File Transfer settings and click OK.

  • File Path/URL: Browse and select the file from the system or specify the link where the file is hosted.
  • Device Path: Enter the location for the file to save.
note

Admins can use the following path to save files to the external storage:

$external$/<Folder_Name>

  • Use Authentication: If the user has specified the URL in File Path/URL field as password protected, then the URL can be accessed only by giving login credentials.
note

This feature is only available on devices that support authentication.

  • Pre and Post Deployment Scripts: Enable this option to execute custom Pre and Post scripts during job deployment. These scripts can be used to perform specific actions before and after the file transfer. Supported on SureMDM Agent version 27.53.00 and above.

  • Pre and Post Revoke Scripts: Enable this option to execute custom Pre and Post scripts during job revocation. Supported on SureMDM Agent version 27.53.00 and above.

     The newly created job will be listed in the Jobs List section.
