Embed upload component

The Embed Upload Component generates some simple code that creates a File upload widget that can be embedded into an external web site.

You can integrate a web component into a third-party website that facilitates uploading files directly to a flow in MFT.

You can also configure it to create a file metadata file with configurable outputs as well as simulating a source path.

The Embed Upload Component allows you to use the Upload Widget to transfer files into Flow Endpoints associated within a MFT file transfer flows.

  1. Click Embed Upload Component.

    The Embed MFT Upload Component dialog displays.

  2. Select an API Key allows the upload widget to authenticate with the MFT service.

The upload widget will look similar to the following example once embedded:

caution

If you encounter a "blocked by CORS policy" error when attempting to use the widget, your hosting domain will need to be added to our Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) allowlist.

To resolve this:

  1. Contact your account representative
  2. Provide the domain where you intend to embed the widget
  3. Request CORS policy configuration for your specific domain

Our support team will ensure that your domain can successfully load and use the web upload widget without cross-origin restrictions.
