Get started overview

Once you log on through your browser, you can immediately start configuring your file transfer workflows. Here are the essential steps to follow:

• Define authentication methods for secure access to endpoints.
• Define endpoints (hosts) where files will be sourced or delivered.
• Deploy agents to execute tasks either in the cloud or on-premises.
• Set up schedules to run tasks automatically.
• Build tasks that define the logic and flow of file transfers.
• Optionally, define parameters to pass dynamic values into tasks at run time.

With these components in place, you can start or schedule tasks to move files across your infrastructure.
