Enabling User Access to the Web Transfer Client

Before users can log in to EFT using the Web Transfer Client (WTC), EFT administrator must configure EFT to allow connections from the WTC. Active Directory domain users must have logon permission on EFT computer in order to log on to EFT through the WTC. This is accomplished by adding AD domain users to the "Allow log on locally" list on EFT computer. If an AD domain user is not in this list, logging on to EFT through the WTC will fail and an error message appears informing the user that Local login access is required to log on to EFT.

If a user has multiple sessions open and you want to make the licenses available to other users, 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.

To configure EFT to allow Web Transfer Client Connections

In the administration interface, connect to EFT and click the Server tab.
On the Server tab, click the Settings Template or user.
In the right pane, click the Connections tab.
In the Protocols area, select the Allow Web Transfer Client over HTTP/S 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 allows 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 user is redirected to the Plain Text Client (PTC).
