Changing the amount of time EFT Server waits between reconnect attempts

Karla Marsh
EFT

THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE APPLIES TO:

  • EFT Server Enterprise version 6.3 and later
  • 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 become part of the EFT configuration files.)

For a spreadsheet of advanced properties, please refer to the help for your version of EFT.

DISCUSSION

Using the advanced property below, you can control the amount of time EFT waits between reconnect attempts once a "lost" folder monitor rule has been detected. The default is 1 second.

In EFT v8 and later:

Add the name:value pair to the AdvancedProperties.JSON file in EFT's \ProgramData\ directory as described in the "Advanced Properties" topic in the online help for your version of EFT.

{

"FolderMonitorWaitBeforeReconnect"": number of seconds

}

In versions prior to v8.0:

You can change the default in the following registry setting:

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\]

"FolderMonitorWaitBeforeReconnect"= number of seconds
