# Using TIBCO Accelerator within TIBCO MFT Platform Server for UNIX

You can speed up file transfers by passing files through a platform server where TIBCO Accelerator daemon is running.

TIBCO Accelerator technology is available in TIBCO MFT Platform Server for Linux and TIBCO MFT Platform Server for Windows. You can send and receive files from z/OS, UNIX and Windows platforms, but only when the files are transferred through the TIBCO MFT Platform Server running the TIBCO Accelerator daemon (RSTunnel.exe).
Note: The TIBCO Accelerator within TIBCO MFT Platform Server can act as a client, a server, or both. For more information about the implementation of TIBCO Accelerator within TIBCO MFT Platform Server for Windows, see TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server for Windows User's Guide.
On the platform server, you can perform the following tasks to use TIBCO Accelerator:

- Managing TIBCO Accelerator
- Configuring the TIBCO Accelerator Server
- Configuring the TIBCO Accelerator Client

Define the following parameters in the config.txt file to set up the TIBCO Accelerator features:

- Accelerate (ACC)
- ACCCompression (ACCC)
- ACCEncryption (ACCE)
- ACCHost (ACCH)
- ACCMaxSpeed (ACCMAX)
- ACCPort
- ACCProtocol (ACCP)
