Web client and Ad hoc contacts are contacts of the MassTransit server who use MassTransit Web (MTWeb) for transferring files. In addition, if the administrator of your MassTransit server has given permissions, the Web client contacts can view the log of the MassTransit server, send files to arbitrary email addresses or send a request for files to be sent to them, see reports, fill out job tickets, etc.
If configured, you can use a secure connection to the MassTransit server and assure privacy of the file transfers when transmitting files over the internet.
MassTransit 7 supports transfers of files and folders with Unicode characters for Web client and Ad hoc contacts when using MassTransit plug-in. Unicode is NOT supported when using HTTP transfer method.
To connect to the MassTransit server, you need to launch a supported web browser, open the MassTransit web site login page, and enter your login credentials that the administrator has provided to you. If you are an Ad hoc contact, you may not need to enter your login credentials if you have received an email with a passkey link which will automatically log you into the web site.
Note: In MassTransit 7.2 and later, users who log into MTWeb using a passkey link can set a permanent password for their account. For more information see the Changing Password section.
The supported web browsers which can be used to log in to the MassTransit web site are the following:
Note: MassTransit 7.2.1 adds support for Internet Explorer 9, Firefox 4, 64-bit Safari 5 and MassTransit 7.2.3 adds support for Safari 5.1.
These will allow you to use the web client in HTTP mode.
The supported web browsers for the Assistant Plug-in are the following:
