Restarting a transfer :
This function allows the caller to restart a prematurely
interrupted transfer. Restarting is possible whether the transfer
is performing a read or a write, but it is always decided by the
caller. Which checkpoint is used for restarting the transfer is
decided by the party receiving the file.
Resynch during transfer :
This function allows a user to request the remote party
to restart the transfer from an earlier checkpoint if a fault occurred
during the data transfer. Unlike restarting - which occurs after
interruption of the transfer (accompanied by closing and deactivation
of the file) - resynch takes place during the transfer and the file
remains open and active.
Suspended transfer :
This function allows a user to interrupt a transfer (that
is, close and deselect the file in question) in order to use the
current connection for running a higher-priority transfer. The suspended
transfer will afterwards be processed under the restart procedure.
Transfer protection :
This function allows PESIT users to implement mechanisms
offering various functions such as :
-
reverse authentication of parties,
-
confidentiality of transmitted data,
-
integrity of transmitted data.
