When it reads a file from your computer for the other device, it can now do more:\n\n- Offset: the read can start partway through a file, or count back from the end with a negative number.\n\n- Extra details: it reports where it started, how many bytes it read, the file's total size, and an etag, a tag that changes when the file changes.\n\n- Upload screening: in upload mode it refuses files whose names look like they hold credentials, and reports that the file was screened.\n\n- Linux check: on Linux it also checks which file it actually opened.\n\nBefore, a read returned only the contents and a few basic details.\n\n**Why**\n\nIt allows reading part of a large file over a remote connection, and keeps files that look like password or key files from being uploaded.\n\n- Area: Remote Control\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
