Overview of the Web Transfer Client

The Web Transfer Client (WTC), an optional module for EFT Server, is a browser-based file transfer client that allows users to transfer files over HTTP or HTTPS using a Web browser to and from EFT Server. The WTC is available if a license is available and if the client is enabled for the user in EFT Server's administration interface.
