Enable Alternative Permission Logic

EFT

THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE APPLIES TO:

  • EFT Server version 4 - version 8.1.x
  • EFT v4.x to v7.4.x stores advanced properties in the registry.
  • EFT v8.x stores Advanced Properties in a JSON file.
    • When you upgrade from EFT v7.4.x to EFT v8, the non-default settings that you have defined in the registry will be added to the Advanced Properties file during upgrade. (Default settings are part of the EFT configuration files.)
      Please refer to the Advanced Properties topic in your version of the EFT help for a spreadsheet of advanced properties.

DISCUSSION

This registry key/advanced property determines whether EFT checks for the "Delete" permission when a client uploads a file.

  • If this setting is not present and/or set to zero, when a connecting client uploads a file, EFT checks only for Upload permission. If a file already exists with the same name, it will be overwritten.
  • If this setting is present and non-zero, then EFT determines if an upload will delete (overwrite) an existing file. If a file already exists, EFT Server does an additional check for Delete permission.

On 32-bit systems:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GlobalSCAPE Inc.\EFT Server 4.0\Config\]

On 64-bit systems:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\GlobalSCAPE Inc.\EFT Server 4.0\Config\]

  • In EFT prior to v8, create a DWORD value of "UplReqDel" set to "1".
  • In EFT v8 and later, add the advanced property "UplReqDel" set to "1" to the advancedproperties.json file in EFT's \ProgramData\ directory.
