Connecting to and Logging Off of the Web Transfer Client

Before users can log in to EFT Server using the Web Transfer Client, the EFT Server administrator must configure  EFT Server to allow the Web Transfer Client connections. EFT Server allows users concurrent access to the Web Transfer Client up to the number of available licenses. If a user attempts to access the client when the maximum number of licenses is in use, an HTML upload form loads instead.

To connect to the Web Transfer Client

  1. Type in the URL provided to you by your EFT Server administrator, then press ENTER.

  2. If a login dialog box appears, type the username and password provided to you by the EFT Server administrator. You might have to type the domain in front of your username. For example, globalscape\WTCuser.

    The folders and files in your local file system and remote filesystem appear in their respective panes.

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.

To log off of the Web Transfer Client

When the browser is closed, the session expires within 5 minutes. The timeout is not user configurable. When your WTC session ends, the Queue pane is cleared automatically. That is, if you were to immediately log back in, the Queue pane would be empty.
