File Transfer History

The File Transfer History displays the transfer status for File Transfer Devices in your system.

View the status for individual devices or rules from Administration > File Transfer History tab.

The File Transfer History button appears in the following locations:

  • Management > Devices tab, click a Device-Name > Modify Device tab
  • Management > Devices > File Transfer Rules: click a Rule-Name > Modify File Transfer Rule tab

You can use it to view the file transfer history. To view the history, you must add at least one rule.

The appliance computes the checksum for each file and stores it in the database. Both SHA256 and MD5 are supported. The appliance uses the checksum to determine if a log file has been modified since it was last transferred. If the checksum remains the same, the file has not been changed, and therefore, is not processed by the appliance.
