EFT Server provides an AS2 Web page at the reserved path of /as2. On this page, partners can access the following information:
EFT Server’s public AS2 certificate key (https://localhost/as2/certificate )
The Site's AS2 Global Identifier (Refer to Enabling the AS2 Inbound Listener Service for details of specifying the AS2 ID.)
The Destination folder (inbox/mailbox). (The destination folder is the partner's/user's Home Folder, configured on the Main tab of the partner/user account.)
The path to the Web page (https://localhost/as2) is displayed on the Site's Connection Options tab.
Your trading partners can access EFT Server's AS2 certificate from the AS2 Account Management page. Provide your trading partners with the URL of the page (https://localhost/as2, as shown on the on the Site's Connection Options tab), then instruct them as described below. (Instructions are also provided on the Web page.)

Right-click the Download the EFT Server AS2 certificate link, click Save Target As, specify a location for the certificate, then click Save. The file is saved as certificate.txt. To use the file for EFT Server, change the extension to .crt.

If you select the Treat the home folder as the user's default root folder check box on the User Setting Level or user level, the partner will be directed to their destination/home folder when they click the link on the AS2 Account Management page. If the check box is not selected, they will connect to the Site folder (e.g., C:\InetPub\EFTRoot\MySite), and they will have to browse to their home folder. |
Click the mailbox path next to Destination folder.
If the Web Transfer Client is installed, licensed, and enabled, the Web Transfer Client appears:
In the Remote Filesystem pane, double-click to open the Usr folder (if necessary), then click your home folder.
In the
Local Filesystem pane, browse
for the file to upload, then double-click the file or click the right-facing
arrow 
.
If the Web Transfer Client is not installed, licensed, or enabled, the HTML Upload form appears:
Click Usr to open the directory (if necessary), then click your home folder.
Click
Browse to find the file to upload
to the Server, then click Upload.
You can edit the page to provide detailed instructions to new partners, such as where to obtain an AS2 client. The Web page is a simple HTML page with a link to a CSS file installed in the EFT Server installation folder (by default, as2page.html is in C:\Program Files\GlobalSCAPE\EFT\ and EFTStyles.css is in /EFTClient).
To customize the AS2 Account Management Web page

|
Do not attempt to edit the Web page if you are not familiar with editing HTML. Incorrectly editing or removing the CSS file will prevent the page from displaying as intended; incorrectly editing the HTML file can prevent it from displaying at all. EFTStyles.css affects other EFT Server HTML files that link to that style sheet. In the HTML file, avoid editing/removing the links and variables needed to display the information:
Test the system with the original files first, then make copies of them before attempting any customization. |
Make copies of EFTStyles.css and as2page.html.
Keep the copies as back ups and edit the originals:
To edit the way the page is displayed (background color, header text, font face/color/size)
Edit EFTStyles.css using your favorite text editor.
To edit the contents of the page (banner graphic, text)
Edit as2page.html using your favorite text editor.
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are used to define the attributes of the tags in your HTML documents. Do not change the names of the CSS selectors because they are referenced in the HTML file. Also, do not remove or add curly brackets { } (also known as braces), which are used to enclose the properties of each selector. For detailed instructions for editing CSS files, refer to http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Guide/Style.
For example:
To change the colored background or the banner image, edit the body background-color property :
body {
background-image:url('/EFTClient/header.gif');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-color:#6699cc;
scrollbar-shadow-color:#ffffff;
-moz-user-select:none
}
To change the font face, size, or color of the main heading ("GlobalSCAPE EFT Server - AS2"), edit the properties (between the curly brackets) of h1. (To change the text content, edit the HTML file.)
h1 {
color: #191970;
font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 14pt;
text-align: left;
}

You can view or choose a color number using the Color Picker in most graphic editors. The example below shows the color number of the currently selected color.
