Enabling User Access to the Web Transfer Client
Before users can log in to EFT Server using the Web Transfer Client
(WTC), the EFT Server administrator must configure EFT Server to allow
connections from the Web Transfer Client. NTAD
domain users must have logon permission on the EFT Server computer in
order to logon to EFT Server through the WTC. This is accomplished by
adding the AD domain user to the "Allow log on locally" list
on the EFT Server computer. If an AD domain user is not in this list,
log on to EFT Server through the WTC will fail and an error message appears
informing the user that Local login access is required to log on to EFT
Server.
If a user has multiple sessions
open and you want to free up licenses, stop and restart the Site. Stopping
and restarting the Site resets the license count and disconnects everybody
who is connected; users must reestablish their session.
EFT Web Transfer Client Requirements
Java 1.4.2 (J2SE) – JRE 1.6.0_05
Internet Explorer 6.0 and 7.0 (Win) with latest OS/browser
patches with JavaScript and cookies enabled
Turn off auto-ban
flood sensitivity to allow users to connect successfully.
If you create
an SSL certificate with a key length of 4096 bits or greater,
the Web Transfer Client will not function properly due to its reliance
on the Java runtime (JRE), which currently does not support key lengths
of 4096 bits or greater.
In order for a user to be able to upload or download
files or manage files in their home folder, the administrator must grant them permissions in
the Virtual File System
(VFS).
To configure EFT Server to allow Web Transfer Client
Connections
In EFT Administrator, connect
to EFT Server and click the Server tab.
In the left pane, expand the Site node, and the User Setting Levels node, then
do one of the following:
To enable the Web Transfer Client for all users
in a User Setting Level,
click the User Setting Level.
To enable the Web Transfer Client for a specific
user, expand the User Setting Level node, then click the username.
In the right pane, click the Security tab.
In the Protocols area,
select the Allow Use of Web Transfer
Client for HTTP/s sessions check box. If this check box is
not available, you have not activated
the Web Transfer Client, or the trial has expired.
|
|
HTTP or
HTTPS must
also be enabled. It is highly recommended that HTTPS be used if security
is a concern. |
Click Apply.

EFT Server allows users concurrent
access to the Web Transfer Client up to the number of your available licenses.
If a user attempts to access the client when the maximum number of licenses
is in use, the upload
form loads instead. Inform users that each refresh of the browser
counts as one session, so do not click the browser's Refresh
icon (or F5). Click the Refresh
icon in the WTC instead, which refreshes the display without requesting
a new session. |
