Customizable HTTP Error Messages

EFT Server provides customizable HTTP error messages in HTML files in the \APPDATA\HTTPMessages folder. (e.g., C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\GlobalSCAPE\EFT Server Enterprise\HTTPMessages; On Windows 2008, Application Data files for all users are in a hidden folder named %systemroot%\ProgramData instead of under Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data.)

Each time the EFT Server service starts up, each of the HTTPMessages files is created if they do not already exist. When an HTTP response is needed, EFT Server first tries to load the response from files in this location. Failing that, EFT Server uses its internal response strings.

HTTP responses that are stored through this mechanism that can be customized are limited to the following responses:
