- When trying to kill a file transfer on a server, you may get this message:
"This process has to be killed on the target that initiated the transfer!"
- This means you have to crack the target in order to stop the file transfer.
- this does not affect the kill action if your gateway is under attack, you can still kill any un-authorized file transfers from / to your gateway, provided you are online and guarding the gate
- if your gateway in under attack with file transfers, others connecting to your gate remotely will have to track down the target that initiated the transfer and kill the process at the source. However this is not as easy as it sounds, because someone could bounce several connections, so the IP showing as the source may not be the IP that initiated the transfer. In this care, you have to search in the logs for proxy connections to try and find the source of the download.
- this does help a lot when transferring from public servers with a bounce connection, as you would be very hard to track and hack so they stop your transfer.
- other remote tasks like delete file, hide / unhide, encrypt / decrypt will also require the main gateway access or target host access to stop.
