Accessing the user interface - MFT Server Manager

The MFT Server Manager is a web-based application that is used to manage your instance of MFT Server. This includes tasks such as creating User accounts, configuring file transfer protocols, and setting up Network Storage and Trading Partners.

To start the MFT Server Manager, point your web browser to http://[hostname]:[port] where [hostname] is the IP address or hostname and [port] is the listening port of the REST management web service defined during the installation process. The default port is 11880.

e.g. http://127.0.0.1:11880

Upon successfully connecting to REST management service, you will be prompted for an administrative username and password to login. These credentials are those that you defined during the installation process.

After successfully logging in, you will see (5) prominent horizontal menu items at the top of the page, as depicted in the image below. If you do not see all the options depicted in the image, it is because your account's access permissions have been restricted. Status is the active heading by default, and it is comprised of 4 tabs, where Dashboard is the active tab.
