Starting and Stopping EFT Server Remotely

If you are logged in to EFT Server remotely, your username and password are passed on to the Windows System Services on the computer running EFT Server. The account you log on with must have administrative rights to make any changes to the GlobalSCAPE EFT Server service running on that computer.

When you stop the Server service, EFT Server breaks all existing connections and waits until all socket threads die. The service can terminate when Timer Event processing is still in progress. The triggering of Monitor Folder and Timer Event Rules occurs almost simultaneously and is controlled by the operating system, not by EFT Server. Refer to Event Rule Order of Execution for more information.
