Overview

Enabling this behavior allows SkySync to compress any file that is not supported on the destination into a .zip format before being transferred. This will be done instead of flagging the item for manual remediation and halting the transfer of the file. For example, if you attempt to transfer the file "db123.cmd" from a Network File Share to SharePoint, SkySync will compress the file to "db123.zip" before transferring it over, avoiding an error message. This option is found on the Behaviors page when creating a new job.

Using the REST API

When creating a job through the REST API, the Zip Unsupported/Restricted Content options include:

• convert: Zip restricted content so that it can be transferred successfully. This is the default setting. This is the same as the Zip unsupported file types setting in the user interface.

• fail: Log an error if restricted content is encountered.

• warn: Log a warning if restricted content is encountered.

• skip: Ignore if restricted content is encountered.
