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.)
  For a spreadsheet of advanced properties, please refer to the "Advanced Properties "topic in the help for your version of EFT.

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.

In v8.0 and later, add the name:value pair to the advancedproperties.json file as described in the "Advanced Properties" topic in the online help for your version of EFT.

{
"UplReqDel": "true"
}

In versions prior to v8.0, create a DWORD value of "UplReqDel" set to "1".
