# Setting Up Qlik Replicate File Channel tasks

To replicate data using the file channel, you must set up two tasks of the following type:

* [Local task](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/replicate/May2026/Content/Replicate/Main/File%20Channel/file_channel_local_task.htm)
* [Remote task](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/replicate/May2026/Content/Replicate/Main/File%20Channel/file_channel_remote_task.htm)

Information note

When using file channel, Change Tables can be enabled for the remote task *but not for the local task* (enabling Change Tables for the local task will result in remote task failure).
