# Responder Profile

A responder profile defines a local user id that can be used to substitute the incoming user name and password. Each responder profile definition is defined in a clear text file named cfrprofile.cfg located in the $CFROOT/config directory.

A responder profile contains the following information:

- Node: the remote system with which the responder profile is associated.
- Remote user name: the user name supplied by the remote system initiating the transfer. It does not have to be a valid user name in the local system.
- Remote password: the password supplied by the remote system initiating the transfer. If the remote user is a verified user, this parameter must be set to *VER in the responder profile.
- Local user name: the local user name used to process a transfer request on your local machine from a specified remote user.

You can add or update responder profiles through the cfrprofile command. Before you update any information in cfrprofile.cfg, a backup of this file called cfrprofile.bak is created. You can activate responder profiles by simply specifying the node for a transfer.
