1. Remote to Cloud (File Upload) - Transfer files from a remote machine to Qntrl's File module, effectively uploading them to your cloud-based storage.
2. Cloud to Remote (File Download) - Transfer files from Qntrl's File module to a remote machine. This is particularly useful when you need to retrieve files stored in the cloud and download them to your local device.
3. Remote to Remote (File Transfer) - Transfers files between two machines connected to the same network. It's ideal for moving files directly between remote devices within your network.

Supported file operations

Recursive is not supported for file download tasks, for downloading a file from Cloud storage.
