Keep Web Session Open After Direct Download (AP)


THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE APPLIES TO:

  • EFT v7.4.11 and later

EFT v8.0 and later store 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

Setting this advanced property to true will keep a web session alive after performing a download from a direct download link.

In v8 and later, add the name:value pair to the AdvancedProperties.JSON file:

{
"KeepSessionOpenAfterDirectDownload":"1"
}

  • If set to 1 = keep session open
  • If set to 0 or doesn't exist(default) = don't keep session open

In 7.4.11 - 7.4.13, create registry DWORD in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\GlobalSCAPE Inc.\EFT Server 7.4\.

  • If set to 1 = keep session open
  • If set to 0 or doesn't exist(default) = don't keep session open
