Remote File Transfer for Mac

You can browse drives, folders, and files on the managed device without starting a full remote control session. This lets you troubleshoot and send, retrieve, copy, paste, or delete files and folders directly.

The Last Action column shows the most recent operation N-central performed on a file or folder.

You will need to have the necessary user permissions to access Remote Command Line. Review the permissions needed under Devices > Direct Support in the Permissions Dictionary.

Remote Command Line uses Take Control. If it’s not installed, you will be prompted to download and install the Take Control Viewer.
