Before users can log in to EFT Server using the Web Transfer Client (WTC), EFT Server administrator must configure EFT Server to allow connections from the Web Transfer Client. Active Directory domain users must have logon permission on EFT Server computer in order to log on to EFT Server through the WTC. This is accomplished by adding AD domain users to the "Allow log on locally" list on EFT Server computer. If an AD domain user is not in this list, logging on to EFT Server through the WTC will fail and an error message appears informing the user that Local login access is required to log on to EFT Server.
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.
Web Transfer Client Requirements
Java 1.4.2 (J2SE) – JRE 1.6.0_05
Internet Explorer 6.0 and 7.0 (Win) with latest OS/browser patches with JavaScript and cookies enabled
Turn off auto-ban flood sensitivity to allow users to connect successfully.
If you create an SSL certificate with a key length of 4096 bits or greater, the Web Transfer Client will not function properly due to its reliance on the Java runtime (JRE), which currently does not support key lengths of 4096 bits or greater.
In order for a user to be able to upload or download files or manage files in their home folder, the administrator must grant them permissions in the Virtual File System (VFS).
To configure EFT Server to allow Web Transfer Client Connections
In the Administrator, connect to EFT Server and click the Server tab.
In the left pane, 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 Server allows users 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 upload form loads instead. Inform users that each refresh of the browser counts as one session, so do not click the browser's Refresh icon or F5. Click the Refresh icon in the WTC instead, which refreshes the display without requesting a new session. |
