Configuring MFT OFTP2 Transfer Server

To configure the MFT OFTP2 Transfer Server, complete the following steps.

    Procedure
  1. Go to Administration > Transfer Servers > OFTP2 Server > Configure OFTP2 Server.

  2. Select the Internet Server instance that you want to configure.

  3. Enter the required information described in the table below:

    Parameter Instruction
    Enabled Set to YES.
    IP Port Defines the listening port for incoming OFTP2 non-TLS requests. We do not recommend using the clear text IP Port. Using the TLS port provides a higher level of security than the clear test IP port, even though data can be encrypted on the clear text IP port.
    TLS Port Defines the listening port for incoming OFTP2 TLS requests. We strongly recommend using TLS for all incoming OFTP2 connections.
    Require Client Certificate Defines whether clients initiating TLS requests require a certificate. It is a good practice to require client certificates. The client certificate can then be validated against the TLS certificate defined in the server definition.
    OFTP2 System Key

    Defines the OFTP2 system key used by the OFTP2 TLS listener.

  4. When you have completed configuring the fields, click Update to save your changes.

Note: Once the OFTP2 transfer server is configured, you must configure the OFTP2 server definitions, OFTP2 users, and the OFTP2 transfer definitions. When these are complete, you can start the OFTP2 server. See Starting OFTP2 Service for instructions on starting the OFTP2 transfer server.
