THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE APPLIES TO:

• EFT Server Enterprise version 6.3.1 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 more on how to use advanced properties, and a spreadsheet of the advanced properties, please refer to the "Advanced Properties" topic in the help for your version of EFT.

DISCUSSION

The Event Rule client issues a CWD /subfolder command when navigating to the remote user's subfolder to download a file in that subfolder. Some mainframes do not accept the leading slash in front of the subfolder name. This prevents EFT Server from successfully downloading /subfolder/filename.

Use the following advanced property to execute CWD without a leading slash. If value is missing or zero = legacy behavior, otherwise CWD is executed without a leading slash.

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.
