Server File Management

Server File Management (SFM) manages the upload and download of files to a dedicated file repository. Access to the files is restricted to prevent unauthorized users from downloading sensitive files to their own machines; only profiles that reference a secure location will complete successfully.

Files are stored in a shared folder, or 'root directory', in the file repository. This is set up by an administrator using Server Folder Management in Transfer Desk. Folders for restricted user access are created under this root directory. Transfer Desk users are unable to access the rest of the file server.

A folder is assigned to one or more user groups, as specified in Security Console or User Manager. The folder and its contents is only accessible to user group members.

Import files, that are referenced in transfer profiles, must be uploading to the file repository prior to running the profile. Similarly, export files must specify a location in the file repository where the results will be generated. The generated files can be downloaded to a local machine.
