Responder Profile

A responder profile defines the credentials used to validate the incoming user name and password. When a match is made, the Local User ID is used for the active file transfer. Each responder profile definition is defined in a clear text file named cfrprofile.cfg.

A responder profile contains the following information:

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.

When PasswordRuleChecking is turned on, the ValidatePwdRules() function for remote password is used to check the password given when the responder profile was created. *VER password is an exception from this check, it is not validated. During password validation, the password characters are compared with the rules provided in the config.txt file. For more information, see Common Configuration Parameters.
