Overview

For the most part, your use of the TransferAgent should be seamless with downloads happening smoothly on websites that have integrated our FileCatalyst transfer technology. However, you may wish to do some configuration or find out status of the TransferAgent.

In order to do so, you must use the TransferAgent tray icon.

Finding the Tray Icon

Windows

By default, the system tray is found in the bottom right of your main screen from the "Desktop" view. Open the tray, and then right-click the TransferAgent icon to open the menu.

Mac OSX

On Mac OSX, you should be able to find the icon in your menu bar where you can left-click on it.

Linux

On Linux there is no tray icon for the TransferAgent. Instead, there is a small user interface that provides the same set of menu options.


Once the TransferAgent menu has been opened, a number of items are available to view or click:

TransferAgent Express

The first menu item gives you easy access to the FileCatalyst TransferAgent Express web application. This web application is a two-way transfer application that allows you to connect and upload / download files to or from a given server.

Listening on port

The first menu item gives you the listening port. You may be asked to provide this information during initial configuration for each TransferAgent enabled site.

Number of active transfers

This line is informational only (clicking does nothing) and gives an at-a-glance count of how many transfers are currently active. If the user wishes to inspect them, they must click "Transfer Status".

Central Status

This menu item contains the TransferAgent's current connection status to a configured FileCatalyst Central instance.

Open Configuration

This opens a configuration page in your default browser.

Transfer Status

This shows the status of all current transfers in your default browser.

Open Help

This opens the TransferAgent help in your default browser.

Exit FileCatalyst TransferAgent

This will shut down the TransferAgent. If you visit a FileCatalyst enabled web page, your application will start again.
