Specifying a New Local or Remote EFT

After you have configured the local connection to EFT (that is, a connection on the same computer on which EFT is installed), you might want to create a remote connection to remotely administer EFT. Or if you have added a new EFT, you need to configure the new local host.

To specify a new local or remote EFT

  1. Do one of the following to open the New administrator Connection wizard:

    • In the Administrator Login dialog box that appears when you open the administration interface, click A remote computer, and then click New.

    • If you are already logged in and want to create a new Server, right-click anywhere on the Server tab, and then click New Server.

  2. Click one of the following:

    • This computer

    • A Remote computer

  3. In the Label box, type the name of EFT to which you want to connect.

  4. In the Host address box, type the IP address of EFT computer.

  5. In the Port box, type the port number used by EFT.

  6. Click Next.

    7. If you close the wizard before the new connection process is complete, none of your settings are saved.

  7. After the new host is created, the Login dialog box appears. Type your username and password, and then click Connect.

If you are unable to connect to a remote EFT, verify that the remote EFT is configured to allow remote administration, and that you have provided the correct IP address, port, and login information.
