Introduction to EFT Administrator

EFT Administrator is the graphical user interface to EFT Server. After you install one or more EFT Servers, configure clustering services, if used, and configure EFT Server to run as a Windows service, you then configure the connection to EFT Server in EFT Administrator. EFT Server is configured by default to run when the operating system boots up. EFT Administrator is used to connect to EFT Server and create Server Groups (In EFT Administrator, Server Groups are at the top of EFT Server's setting hierarchy and allow you to group multiple Servers.), Servers (In EFT Administrator, a Server contains the settings for one or more EFT Servers, either locally or remotely.), and Sites (In EFT Administrator, a Site is similar to a virtual FTP server bound to one or more IP addresses.), manage user accounts and permissions, set security protocols and commands, configure Event Rules (Used to specify an Action to occur when an event takes place and/or a Condition is present. e.g., You can configure an Event Rule to send an e-mail when a file is uploaded.), and run reports.

EFT Administrator connects to EFT Server on either a local or remote computer. You can install EFT Administrator on as many computers as you like, but EFT Server may only be installed on computers with valid EFT Server software licenses.
