Servers

The Servers page lists the servers that can connect to the VFSs defined in Data Mover Smart. Connection occurs through specific communication protocols.

By selecting the icons next to the Server's name at the top of the page, you can display them in grid or table format.

When setting up a new server, you must select a communication protocol and a Virtual File System (VFS), which will be accessible through the selected protocol. Access control lists (ACLs) are also configured within the VFS, allowing you to define user permissions.

The toolbar at the top of the page can be used to configure a new server, refresh the list, and browse all listed servers by protocol, enable conditions (enabled, disabled, or both), or status (online, offline, or both).

To configure a new server click the New button and in the New server panel select the protocol. The fields applicable to the protocol will appear allowing you to enter the settings for the server.

These are the protocols supported:

  • FTP

  • FTPS
