Before you can allow your internal users to send and receive e-mail file attachments using the Secure Ad Hoc Transfer (SAT) module, there are a few configuration options to consider. Review the topics below for details.
This help file, adhoc.chm, and the release notes, notes.txt, can be found in the SAT installation folder (by default, C:\Inetpub\EFTAdHoc). |
Receiving Notification when Recipient Uploads a File - The SAT module default installation handles the process of notifying your recipients when a file is sent. In addition, temporary accounts are disabled automatically one week after account creation. You must configure EFT Server to remove expired temporary accounts from EFT Server (including their home folder and any files contained within) automatically, and to receive notifications for files uploaded by recipients.
Using the PCI Module with the Secure Ad Hoc Transfer Module - If you are using the HS-PCI module and the SAT module with EFT Server, you should create a separate, non-PCI DSS Site that is used only for the SAT module. Alternately, you can disable the features that are not compatible, but that would take the Site out of compliance with the PCI DSS.
Enforcing Strong (Complex) Passwords - If your Site's complex password settings require more than 20 characters, you must configure the Ad Hoc Settings Level to override the Site's password settings so that complex passwords for SAT temporary users contain fewer than 20 characters.
Sending Large Files - If you expect to transfer large files, e.g., 1 GB or larger, we strongly recommend that you install EFT Server on the same computer as IIS and, in edit settings in the SAT configuration file.
SAT module configuration - Refer to Secure Ad Hoc Transfer's Configuration File for details of editing the configuration file.
You must configure your SMTP server to allow the computer on which the SAT module is installed to relay. Refer to the following Web links for details:

Activating Secure Ad Hoc Transfer - When you first install the Secure Ad Hoc Transfer module, you are given the choice of installing a Full or Trial version. The trial version is not time limited, but file sender operations are limited to ten per IIS session and one file at a time. Follow the instructions in Activating Secure Ad Hoc Transfer to activate the full version.
