Use the File Transfer task to send files from one location to another and to synchronize files, directories, or drives. The File Transfer task is a secure alternative to FTP.
File transfer between two managed systems is not supported directly. However, you can transfer a file from one managed system to a management console or management server and then transfer that file to a different managed system.
