Installing DMZ Gateway

Two versions of DMZ Gateway are available: DMZ Gateway (single Site) and DMZ Gateway Enterprise (multi-Site). DMZ Gateway (single Site) is available as an add-on module to EFT Server (basic) or EFT Server Enterprise. DMZ Gateway Enterprise (multi-Site) is available only with EFT Server Enterprise edition. Neither edition requires the use of a trial serial number, however, both have a 30-day trial period after which you must provide a serial number to continue using the product.

You cannot enable DMZ Gateway Server in the EFT Server administrator interface until you have installed and configured DMZ Gateway.

EFT Server and DMZ Gateway must be installed on separate computers. For details of clustering with the DMZ Gateway, refer to http://help.globalscape.com/help/guides/InstallingDMZGatewayInCluster.pdf.

To install DMZ Gateway (single or multi-site)
