Transfer Files (Data Management Tools)

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.

Label	Explanation	Data type
Input Paths	The list of input files or folders that will be copied to the output folder. The path can be a file system path or cloud storage path where the `.acs` file can be used.	Raster Dataset; File; Folder
Output Folder	The output folder path where the files will be copied.	Folder
Filters (Optional)	A file pattern filter that will limit the number of files that need to be copied, such as `.tif`, `.crf`, and similar image file types.	String

Derived output
