Things to note when transfer data from PC to VPS Windows and vice versa
-
Check network connection
Copy and file transfer speed may depend on network connection and file capacity. Make sure that the network connection is stable and has enough capacity to copy data conveniently and quickly. An unstable network connection can cause copying errors or data loss.
2. Check access rights:
Make sure you have enough access and editing rights to the folders or drives that need to copy data. On both the computer and VPS, reset access and security permissions if necessary to ensure that you have permission to access and perform data replication operations.
3. Size and number of files
If you copy a large number of files or large files, please note that the copying process may take time and consume network resources. Make sure you have enough space and resources needed on both your computer and VPS to process data.
4. Check files after copying
After completing the copying process, check the copied files to ensure integrity and no errors. Compare the size and content of files on both the computer and the VPS to ensure that the copy process was successful and no data was lost or corrupted.
5. Back up important data
Before performing any copy operation, make sure to back up important data. This helps ensure that you have a backup copy of your data in case something goes wrong during the copy process or unexpected data loss occurs.
6. Be careful when deleting data:
When copying data from a computer to a VPS or vice versa, be careful when deleting data from the computer or VPS after successful copying. Make sure you delete the correct copies and do not accidentally delete the original data on your computer or VPS.
7. Monitor progress
Monitor the progress of data copying to ensure that no errors occur and the process goes smoothly. This helps you catch any problems or errors that may occur and can fix them promptly. Following the above instructions will help you copy data between your computer and VPS safely, effectively and successfully.
