When downloading multiple files, the sanitized version will be selected automatically if available. The option to download the original file is available only for individual files through the administrator.
Upon download, users have the option to secure the downloaded file(s) by encrypting them into a password-protected ZIP archive. The use of a password may be mandatory if MetaDefender Managed File Transfer™ is configured to enforce this requirement.
If an internet connection error occurs during the archive download process, the download will automatically resume once the connection is reestablished.
Users can select all files and folders on a page using the checkbox at the top left:
Users can copy the download link for files and folders using the action menu on the right:
Edit Password
MetaDefender Managed File Transfer supports adding or editing a password (both ASCII and non-ASCII) for an encrypted file from the "My Files" tab.
If the correct password is entered and the file is not blocked, it will be available for download to all users with the appropriate permissions.
If download authentication in "Global Settings" is not required, any user has the right to insert passwords.
Delete Password
Passwords can be deleted from an encrypted file only if the correct one has not yet been added.
Adding or Editing File Tags
To add or edit a tag for a file (which can be used for later searches), click on the "More actions (...)" button and choose "Edit file tags" for one of the files in the grid.
You can add or edit any existing tags for this file in the "Edit file tags" window.
Each file can have up to 20 tags. A tag cannot exceed 50 characters in length.
Sorting
Currently, you can sort files by Name, Upload Date and Expiration Date on the "My Files" page.
Filtering
You can filter files by Upload Date by clicking on the "Advanced" button and selecting either predefined time intervals or a custom date range.
When a date filter is active, you can remove it by clicking the "X" button.
Hide/ Show a Column
You can show or hide columns by using the cogwheel icon at the top right of the table. Columns such as "Result," "Processing State," "Upload Date," and "Expiration Date" can be toggled.
Search Inside a Folder
When searching by name or tag within a folder, the results will be returned from within that folder, not from all files in MetaDefender Managed File Transfer.
