Custom Branding of the Mobile Transfer Client Profile

When users connect to an EFT Site using the Mobile Transfer Client (MTC), EFT can optionally deliver a small graphic file that will replace the generic icon shown in the MTC app for that profile in the Profile address book. You can place the custom graphic in the Server folder for use on every Site on which the MTC is enabled, or you can place custom graphics in individual Site-specific folders if you have different languages on different Sites (for example).

To provide a custom logo or graphic

  1. Create a .png file that is 200x200 pixels.

    • The file can include alpha transparency.

    • Image squares larger than 200x200 will be scaled down, but will use more bandwidth. Non-square images or square images smaller than 200x200px will be rejected by the client.

  2. Save the file as icon.png.

  3. On the EFT computer, in the \web\custom\ folder, create a directory structure in the form [SiteName]\EFTClient\wtc\. You can create a different custom \wtc\ folder for each Site.

  4. Do one of the following:

    • To use the icon Server wide, copy icon.png to the \wtc\ directory (e.g., C:\Program Files (x86)\Globalscape\EFT Server Enterprise\web\custom\EFTClient\wtc).

    • To deliver a Site-specific icon (as opposed to Server wide), then place the icon under \web\custom\[SiteName]\EFTClient\wtc.

To customize files on a Site

  1. In the \web\custom\ folder, create a directory structure in the form [SiteName]\EFTClient\wtc\.

  2. Copy only the default files that you want to edit (rebrand) from the \web\public\EFTClient\wtc folder into the \web\custom\SiteName\EFTClient\wtc\ folder that you created. (It is not necessary to copy all of the default files.)

  3. Edit the copy of the file in the \custom\SiteName\EFTClient\wtc\ folder, and save it.

When upgrading, the \custom\ and \public\ folders are backed up and renamed with the date and time (e.g., \customBackup_9-28-2010_16-18\ and \publicBackup_9-28-2010_16-18\).

Upon initial installation, this \custom\ directory is empty. You must create the directory structure for any Server (\custom\EFTClient\) or Site (\custom\MySite\EFTClient\) branded files. If you have multiple Sites, each Site can have different branding (e.g., one can be in English and one in French). EFT first looks in the Site's custom (branded) directory \web\custom\MySite\EFTClient and loads any branded files. For files that are not present in the Site's \custom\ directory, EFT checks the Server's \custom\ directory, \web\custom\EFTClient\, and then loads the files that it finds there. Finally, for any other files, it will load the default files from \web\public\EFTClient\. Branded files that are Site-specific will override any Server-wide branded and default files, while branded files that are Server-wide override the default (Globalscape-branded) files provided by the installer.

  • The best practice is to have only customized files in the \custom\ folder and to leave the default files unmodified in the \web\public\EFTClient folder.

  • The Site folder \web\custom\[SiteName]\EFTClient\ should hold just those files that contain customizations for that Site.

  • The Server folder \web\custom\EFTClient\ should hold just those files that contain customizations for the Server.

  • The Server-branded files will apply to all Sites defined on the Server, but any Site-branded files will override the Server-branded files.

  • It is not necessary to restart the Site or Server to see your changes, but you will have to refresh or close and reopen your browser.
