Creating Responder Profiles

By using responder profiles, a remote user does not have to know a local user name and password on your local machine to initiate a transfer. A responder profile is chosen based on the remote user name. The information in this responder profile is used to log on to the local system.

1. On the command line, navigate to the MFTPS_install directory.
2. Enter cfrprofile prompt:YES.
   You are prompted for the required parameters to define a responder profile.
   Note: You can use the cfrprofile command without being prompted for the required parameters. See the following sample command:

   cfrprofile n:dataServerA r:abc rp:abc l:johndoe prompt:NO

3. On the prompt menu, set the values for the required parameters. See the following sample command:

   cfrprofile prompt:YES
   
   Enter a valid Node Name: dataServerA
   Enter a valid Remote User: abc
   Enter a valid Remote Password: abc
   Re-enter Remote Password: 
   Enter a valid Local User:  johndoe
   

   This example creates a responder profile for the remote user abc. This remote user can initiate a transfer request from the dataServerA node without having to know the user ID and password in the local system. The transfer is processed on the local machine using the local user ID johndoe.
