System Installation & File Transfer¶
Reinstall the OS on a remote machine, or transfer files between FlexKVM and the target host.
-
Remote OS Install
Full workflow: prepare ISO → boot from BIOS → install OS — all remote.
-
File Transfer
TF card as remote USB drive or virtual CD-ROM — transfer drivers, scripts, logs, ISO images.
