Box trading partner

This trading partner exchanges data with Box cloud storage. The MFT Server initiates the connection to the Box cloud storage that is configured for this trading partner. It is assumed that the administrator of the Box cloud storage has provided you with the details needed to set up the Box trading partner - details such as the system's hostname or IP address, port number, username, and password.
