The main menu and toolbar of the Administrator provide options for configuring and managing Sites (In the Administrator, a Site is similar to a virtual FTP server bound to one or more IP addresses.), Settings Templates (Allows you to apply a setting configuration to an entire group of users. Every client account or user must be a member of a Settings Template. Settings Templates exist within a Site and consist of a group of settings used as a template. AKA Settings Level.), Groups (Allows the administrator to define access permissions to files and folders. Just as Settings Templates control access to EFT Server resources such as bandwidth allowances and connectivity privileges, Groups control access to folders. See virtual folders.), Commands (EFT Server's Commands can execute programs, scripts, or batch files with or without command line arguments, providing administrators almost limitless extensibility. These Commands can be invoked directly by a user from an FTP client (if permitted by EFT Server administrator) or as an automated action from EFT Servers Event Rules.), Folders (In the Administrator, you can define and manage physical folders and virtual folders.), Certificates (Certificates are digital identification documents that allow both servers and clients to authenticate each other. A certificate file has a .crt extension.), and Reports (Auditing and Reporting Module; captures the transactions passing through EFT Server and provides an interface in the Administrator where you can use preconfigured or your own custom reports to query, filter, and view transaction data.).
