Configuration settings

Under the Configuration tab of the Flow Endpoint Editor, the following options are available:

  • Enable - Allows you to enable or disable a Flow Endpoint.

  • Flow Endpoint Name - Displays the name of the Flow Endpoint, which you can define or change.

  • Organization Endpoint Name - Displays the name of the Organization Endpoint.

  • Type - Displays the Endpoint type.

  • Code - Displays the Endpoint code.

  • Number of Concurrent Files - Allows you to define a number of concurrent connections up to a limit. This number must be between 1 and 5.

  • Select Location - Allows you to select whether transfers should initiate from the MFT Cloud or from an installed MFT Node.

You can configure the following filters to view specific Flow Endpoints:

  • Filename Filter - Specify which files to include or exclude. Only valid Regular Expressions are supported. Filename filters are available for both source and target flow endpoints. Regular expressions are limited to 128 characters.

  • Date Filters - Specify date ranges to include External and Node endpoint types. Options include:

    • Include on or before a date
    • Include on or after a date
    • Include on and between two dates

You can use the following options for source files handling:

  • Delete files from source after pull - Enabling this option will permanently delete the files from the source after they have been pulled.

  • Include Subfolders - Enables you to include or ignore subfolders. They are ignored by default. Enabling this option will allow MFT to scan and pull new or changed files found within these subfolders as well.

Archive on Source

When Archive on Source is enabled, files move to the given directory after their retrieval. If an archive filename collision occurs, a timestamp will be added to the archive filename.

(By default, the path specified in the Source Server Archive Path field is excluded from the DirList operation - including any subfolders underneath that path.)

Source Server Archive Path - If archive on source is enabled, you need to specify a path for the archived files.

Source Endpoint Paths

Enter a Flow Endpoint Source path.

Target Endpoint Paths

Additional options are available for the target configuration. You can either overwrite the existing file at the target if it shares the same name or append a timestamp to preserve the original file.

If a file with the same filename already exists, a timestamp will be appended to the filename to avoid a filename collision. For example, file.txt will become file_2025-04-09T14:35:53.877Z.txt

caution

If a file with the same filename already exists, the new file will overwrite it.

Flow Endpoint Paths - Enter the remote path to or from which you would like files and folders transferred, starting after the folder/directory your remote user lands in upon authentication.

info

The path field is currently limited to 129 characters.

For example, if the remote server has a folder structure folderA/folderB/folderC, and the user credentials that you have configured your sync server to log in with automatically land that user inside folderA, then to properly configure your sync folder behavior to transfer files to or from folderC, you would enter the path as folderB/folderC.

Note - Add any notes for this configuration.

note

If there are unsaved changes in any Flow Endpoint Editor tab, a dot displays next to the tab name.
