Main Menu and Toolbar

The main menu and toolbar of EFT Administrator provide options for configuring and managing Sites (In EFT Administrator, a Site is similar to a virtual FTP server bound to one or more IP addresses.), User Setting Levels (Allows you to apply a setting configuration to an entire group of users. Every client account or user must be a member of a User Setting Level. User Setting Levels exist within a Site and consist of a group of settings used as a template. AKA Settings Level.), Groups (Allows the administrator to define access permissions to files and folders. Just as User Setting Levels control access to EFT Server resources such as bandwidth allowances and connectivity privileges, Groups control access to folders. See virtual folders.), Commands (EFT Server's Commands can execute programs, scripts, or batch files with or without command line arguments, providing administrators almost limitless extensibility. These Commands can be invoked directly by a user from an FTP client (if permitted by the EFT Server administrator) or as an automated action from EFT Servers Event Rules.), Folders (In EFT Administrator, you can define and manage physical folders and virtual folders.), Certificates (Certificates are digital identification documents that allow both servers and clients to authenticate each other. A certificate file has a .crt extension.), and Reports (Auditing and Reporting Module; captures the transactions passing through EFT Server and provides an interface in EFT Administrator where you can use preconfigured or your own custom reports to query, filter, and view transaction data.).

Below is a description of each of the main menu options and toolbar icons. (Most options do not have an associated toolbar icon, and the Disconnect from EFT Server icon does not have an associated menu option.)
