You can log in to EFT Server locally or remotely (if configured) via the EFT Server administration interface, via the COM API, at a command line, or using a Windows shortcut. This topic discusses logging in via the administration interface. These instructions assume that EFT Server has been configured and the EFT Server service is running. For instructions for installing a remote administration interface, refer to Installing the Administration Interface Remotely.
