File Transfer Automation

The document describes the current and automated processes for transferring files from a local drive to an MII server. The current process involves manually checking files in different formats, editing double byte files, and dragging files to the server using WinSCP. The automated process involves running a script to transfer files after preparation, completing the task faster by transferring files in one step regardless of format.
