Configuring with MetaDefender Managed File Transfer
It is recommended for both Kiosk and MFT to be connected to the same user directory in order for the integration to work seamlessly
MFT servers are configured from the Kiosk global configuration page.
In the MFT Server section, click View and configure MFT servers.
This will open the MetaDefender MFT Servers page where multiple servers can be added and configured.
Each entry is validated for a successful connection. Once a MFT server is added, it can be selected in all sections of the configuration where a MFT server is required.
