Active Transfer Agent is a light-weight application that helps you automate file transfers from multiple systems throughout your enterprise. These systems can be located remotely or on-premise. Operating as the central management hub, an ActiveTransfer Server instance can be used to configure scheduled file transfer events, push the event configurations to the agents, and monitor file transfers that the agents execute

In Active Transfer Agents page, we can synchronize the agent instances installed through Command Central, register agent instances that were installed directly on-premise in ActiveTransfer Server, enable agents, view, and edit agent configuration details.

Following are the steps needed to synchronize agent from Command Central:

1. Install the Active Transfer server and Command Central

(Ex: Installation Dir: C:\SoftwareAGMFT)

1. Install Active Transfer Agent

(Ex: Installation Dir: C:\Agent)

1. Start MWS, IS and Command Central servers

1. In Active transfer, create an HTTP or HTTPS Listener.
    The created listener will be used while connecting Agent with Active Transfer Server.

1. Add the new user that Agent can use to connect to Active Transfer Server
