Installing the Desktop Client

TIBCO MFT Internet Server comes with the new MFT desktop client ClickOnce application. By utilizing the Microsoft ClickOnce technology within our MFT desktop client, you can install, update and run the MFT desktop client with minimal interaction and no administrator requirements.

The desktop client ClickOnce application requires some customization steps to be performed before making it available to end users to download and install. Windows SDK is required for the customization process. See TIBCO Managed File Transfer Internet Server Installation Guide for detailed instructions on customizing this application for your environment.

Once you have installed the customized desktop client, it is ready for you to connect to the system and download it to install on your system. There are two types of installations offered. The first is full installation where you will install the desktop client program on to your desktop. The other is a cached installation where the desktop client would be initiated each time from your browser. You must choose the one that will work best for your environment.
