You can transfer files from the Symantec Ghost
Console server to the operating system or the Ghost partition of
the client computer. The target is selected on a file-by-file
basis. If you transfer the files to the virtual partition, then the
files remain there only while the task is being executed.
You need to select each file that you want to
transfer, and specify where to transfer it. There are three
possible destinations: the Ghost Incoming directory, the boot
partition, or a specified path.
Warning: Do not attempt to transfer files to the
My Documents folder on the client computer in a file transfer task.
If you want to move any files to the My Documents folder, use the
Move the User feature. Move the User automatically handles the
directory mapping required.

Note: You may want to hide the folders that
contain transferred files on the client computers to prevent the
computer users from accessing them. To hide a folder, you need to
add the following command to the Command tab in the file transfer
task:
"attrib" +h [pathname]
where [pathname] is the full path and name of the
folder that you want to hide, and the target of the command is the
Target OS of the client computer.
