Profiles are the starting point for specifying a file transfer. A profile is specified when each file transfer operation is run.
In the XSD Schema used to structure the JADE configuration parameters, Profiles is a major branch alongside the Fragments and General branches.
A profile contains information about the operation to be carried out - e.g. copy or move - the transfer source and, if relevant, target, and contains references to the protocol fragments that are to be called to specify how the file transfer connections are to be made.
In the XSD Schema used to structure the JADE configuration parameters, Profiles is a major branch alongside the Fragments branch, which contains the parameters specifying the connection to be used, and the General branch which, as the name implies, contains elements that specify how the file transfer in general is to be carried out.
