7.6.6 Setting up secure file transfers
To safely transfer files, you must specify security settings. You can use the following two methods to secure file transfers:
-
Transfer data encryption
Data to be transferred via the network might be leaked to a third-party if it is transferred without protection. Data encryption protects the data to be transferred between the controller and remote control agent from a third-party.
-
Setting file access permissions
In the File Transmission window, you can set the same access permissions for the controller and remote computers. Therefore, to prevent files being used on the business server by mistake, you can set permissions for access from the controller.
To encrypt the data to be transferred:
-
On the toolbar of the Remote Controller window, click the Options button (

).
-
On the Session tab of the displayed dialog box, select Encrypt transfer data, and then click OK.
The data to be transferred is encrypted.
When data is encrypted, a lock icon is displayed on the controller and the target computer.
To set file access permissions:
-
Display the list of agent configurations in Windows Agent Configurations and Create Agent Installers in the Settings module, and then click the Edit button for the agent configuration whose file access permissions you want to set.
-
In the Edit Agent Configuration dialog box that appears, set Access Permission to File under File Transfer in the remote control settings.
File access from the controller is limited according to the specified access permissions.
Access permissions include the read/write permission. Executable file operations differ depending on which access permissions are set. For example, when only the read permission is set, an error message is displayed if you try to transfer files to a remote computer.
