File Transfer

An administrator can grant specific permissions while accessing applications with the Web RDP, Web SSH, and Web VNC protocols, including File Transfer. The administrator can allow or restrict the file upload and download from the base machine to the remote machine and vice versa.

Enabling File Transfer

To enable File Transfer follow these steps.

1. Go to Applications > Add Applications.
2. Click Private Web Apps.
3. Choose the appropriate protocol (WebSSH, WebRDP, or WebVNC) from the dropdown.
4. The Permissions fields will become active. Select the ‘Allow Upload and Download‘ option.
5. Depending on the selected protocol the following fields get enabled.
   For WebSSH
   • Upload-Download Folder Path
     

   For WebRDP

   • SFTP User Name
   • SFTP Password
     

   For WebVNC

   • SFTP User Name
   • SFTP Password
   • Upload-Download Folder Path
     
6. Fill all the required details and click Add.

Once the File Transfer permission is granted, a user can see the following options in the application.

1. File Manager
2. Download a File
3. Upload a File

Important: ☛
For Windows
SFTP client applications are available to access the SFTP Server.

For macOS
macOS includes a built-in SFTP client in the Terminal application, which can be accessed using the sftp command.

For Linux
Most Linux distributions include a built-in SFTP client, which can be accessed using the sftp command in the Terminal or command-line interface.

Note:☛
Once an administrator grants permission to a user for file transfer, the permission will remain active for the entire session. However, any modifications made to the permission during the same session will not take effect and the original permission will remain in effect until the session ends.
