This is possible if you use the -C switch with the kcp command. This way, files are copied directly onto the media without first going into the cache. You cannot use this for CD or DVD media as you cannot write directly to these media since they require an image to be generated first. Hence, this is only viable for Optical, DVD-RAM, UDO and PDD media.
