File Settings
Download Authentication Required
Specifies whether users need to log in to download files from MetaDefender Managed File Transfer™.
Enable Password-Protected Download
Administrators can download files or folders in password-protected archives.
Password-protected download is disabled by default. During an upgrade, previously saved file settings will be retained unless they remain unchanged from the factory default, in which case the password-protected download will be disabled.
- Optional (default): Users can choose whether to use a password-protected archive for downloading on the download modal.
- Enforce: Requires users to download files or folders in password-protected archives.
- Enforce system password policy for download: Forces users to comply with the MetaDefender Managed File Transfer password policy, requiring a password of at least 12 characters that meets the required strength.
Archive File After Download
Enables file archiving when files are downloaded via the MetaDefender Kiosk integration.
Fallback to Global Core Workflow
Allows MetaDefender Managed File Transfer to use the integrated MetaDefender Core global workflow if no user-specific workflow is configured or if the workflow has been removed.
Sharing
Specifies if file sharing between users is allowed.
Auto-Delete Empty Folders
All folders that no longer contain any files due to file expiration will be deleted.
