Once you log on through your browser, you can immediately start configuring your file transfer workflows. Here are the essential steps to follow:
  • Define authentication methods for secure access to endpoints.
  • Define endpoints (hosts) where files will be sourced or delivered.
  • Deploy agents to execute tasks either in the cloud or on-premises.
  • Set up schedules to run tasks automatically.
  • Build tasks that define the logic and flow of file transfers.
  • Optionally, define parameters to pass dynamic values into tasks at run time.
With these components in place, you can start or schedule tasks to move files across your infrastructure.
