There are two types of contacts that can transfer files using MTWeb: Web client and Ad hoc contacts.
You can find detailed instructions on how to create and configure their privileges on the Contacts page.
There are a few more contact settings which can be configured. See the sections below.
Contact Configurations in the mtweb.ini File
Some settings for the web users are configurable in the mtweb.ini file. To configure them:
Open the mtweb.ini file located in the MTWeb directory. By default, this folder is placed on the system drive in:
for MassTransit 7.6 and later:
on 64-bit machines:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Acronis\MassTransit Server
for MassTransit 7.1 to 7.6:
on 32-bit machines:
C:\Program Files\Group Logic\MassTransit Server
on 64-bit machines:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Group Logic\MassTransit Server
for MassTransit 7.0.x:
on 32-bit machines:
C:\Program Files\Group Logic\MassTransit Server 7
on 64-bit machines:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Group Logic\MassTransit Server 7
Note: All lines beginning with a semicolon (;) in the mtweb.ini file are considered commented and therefore ignored. Please ensure that all settings you change are uncommented (if you see ";" characters at the beginning of any of the settings you modify, delete them).
Go to the FILE TRANSFER section of the mtweb.ini file.
Configure the setting below to force the user to fill in a job ticket or not by default. Set it to "0" if you do not want to force using a job ticket. Otherwise, set it to "1" (no quotes). mForceHTMLJobTicket = 0
Note: The setting can be overridden per user within the MassTransit Administrator application.
Configure the setting below to the maximum number of files that Web Client users are allowed to send per transfer using the plug-in. Only numbers greater than "0" enable this feature, default is "0" which means that the maximum number is not restricted. mLimitNumFilesPerTransfer = 0
Note: This value is ignored for HTTP transfers.
When you have configured all desired settings, save and close the mtweb.ini file.
The changes will take effect the next time the Web client contact/Ad hoc contact logs into the MassTransit web site.
Contact Configurations in the MassTransitEngine.cfg File
Some settings for the web users are configurable in the MassTransitEngine.cfg file. To configure them:
Open the MassTransitEngine.cfg file located in the MassTransit installation directory. By default, this file is placed on the system drive in:
for MassTransit 7.6 and later:
on 64-bit machines:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Acronis\MassTransit Server
for MassTransit 7.1 to 7.6:
on 32-bit machines:
C:\Program Files\Group Logic\MassTransit Server
on 64-bit machines:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Group Logic\MassTransit Server
for MassTransit 7.0.x:
on 32-bit machines:
C:\Program Files\Group Logic\MassTransit Server 7
on 64-bit machines:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Group Logic\MassTransit Server 7
Note: All lines beginning with '%%' in the MassTransitEngine.cfg file are considered commented and therefore ignored. Please ensure that all settings you change are uncommented (if you see "%%" characters at the beginning of any of the settings you modify, delete them).
To require all web users to select either a Forwarding contact or a Service (from the To: or Service: drop-down menu on the Send Files tab of the user interface) before uploading files to the MassTransit server, configure the following setting as shown below: FORCE_WEB_CLIENT_FORWARDING_OR_SERVICE_SELECTION=TRUE The plug-in prompts the user on drag and drop as well as clicking the Select Files… button.
In order to apply the changes immediately, you need to restart the MassTransit Engine:
Open the Services console from Start → Administrative Tools → Services.
Highlight the MassTransit service and click on the Stop button from the Services tool bar, or select the Stop option from the context menu of the service.
Highlight the MassTransit Transporter service and click on the Restart button from the Services tool bar, or select the Restart option from the context menu of the service;
Highlight the MassTransit service and click on the Start button from the Services tool bar, or select the Start option from the context menu of the service.
The next time web users log into the MassTransit web site, they will be prompted to select either a Forwarding contact or a Service from the To: or Service: drop-down menu on the Send Files tab of the user interface before uploading files.
