DISCUSSION
In order to be compatible with some network devices, it may be necessary to disable Encryption and/or Compression with WAFS. Compression and Encryption are on by default, so creating nocompress and noencrypt keys and setting them to 1 disables this default behavior. This article describes how to turn off compression and/or encryption in the WAFS/CDP application.

This is an advanced topic. If you are not comfortable with making these settings, do not attempt this. Contact GlobalSCAPE Support for assistance. You should always back up (export a copy of) the Registry before making changes to it.

Creating a .reg File
Instead of creating the keys manually, you can enable compression and/or encryption by adding one or both DWORD values to a .reg file and then executing the file.
To create the .reg file
-
Copy the text below (depending on whether your system is 32-bit or 64-bit) into a text editor, such as Notepad or EditPlus:
32-bit:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Availl\AvaillClient\Settings]
"noCompress"=dword:00000001
"noEncrypt"=dword:00000001
64-bit:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Availl\AvaillClient\Settings]
"noCompress"=dword:00000001
"noEncrypt"=dword:00000001
-
Save the file as .reg.
-
Double-click the .reg file. The keys are written to the Registry.
