Migrate from AFS to NetFile

1. Login to WebFile. This will allow you to move or copy all of your files at once. By default, when you login to WebFile it opens your AFS home directory.

2. Click on Select All in the right upper pane. This will put a check mark next to each file and folder. If you don't want to move or copy all of your files, just place a check in the box next to the ones you want to move.

   Note: Files or folders beginning with a dot (.) typically hold settings for programs in Unix. You may uncheck those dot (.) files and folders so that they will not be copied/moved to NetFile.

3. Select Move or Copy.
   • Move moves your files from AFS to NetFile (deleting them from AFS).
   • Copy makes copies of your files and puts them in NetFile, so you will have files in both AFS and NetFile.

Note: It is recommended that you Copy first when migrating from AFS to NetFile. After Copy is successfully completed, you may delete all unneeded files and folders on your AFS space.



4. Under Specify a destination folder... choose NetFile, then click Move or Copy.
