# File Server

## How to Transfer Files

| ### What to do:
| This function transfers the selected files from a specified vault to another vault. The file must exist at the specified location in the source area (BCK and EXT type vaults are an exception). The file is deleted in the source area once the transfer is completed.
| Select Manager > File Management > Files. The FMS-Files mask is opened.
| Select the file to be transferred.
| Select Transfer from the context menu.
| Select a vault.
| The files stored in a a vault of the type "BCK" (backup) or "EXT" (external), need not to be present at the specified location since the File Server cannot access secondary media (tape drives, CDs). Only the relationships will be updated. The storage area type (FMS, PUB, EIF, ...) of the source and target areas should be identical.
