Server definitions define how the supported clients can gain access to a file and contain the information that
TIBCO MFT Command Center needs to communicate with the servers. You can add and manage server definitions in
TIBCO MFT Command Center through the
Servers option.
Many different server definitions can be configured with a single
TIBCO MFT Command Center system.
TIBCO MFT Command Center supports the following types of server definitions. The servers that you define depend on the product that is installed and the location of the files needed for file transfer requests.
The following table lists the supported server types:
