File transport specifications

With regular export, you can choose whether to compress the ASCII files. After Exchange copies the files to the target site, the files are decompressed.

Exchange does not provide additional security; that is, the files to be transported are not encrypted.

When copying the files, any previously existing files are overwritten. This does not often happen, however, because usually you would use a separate subdirectory for each run for the regular export and the regular import.
