General Settings

The following table describes the Hub general setting parameters.

Parameter	Description
Hub Name	Defines the logical name of the Hub.
Home Directory	Defines the root path where transfered files are stored. If you want to use a different directory for each logged in internal user, you must add \${userName} to the path.

HTTP Settings

The following table describes HTTP Settings for the MFT Enterprise B2B File Exchange web application.

SFTP Settings

The following table describes the SFTP settings between the Hub and the MFT Enterprise B2B Gateway.

Parameter	Description	Location
SFTP Port	Determines the port number that the embedded Hub/Gateway listens to for SFTP connections. This port is used by clients to connect to the SFTP server If you set the port below 1024, which is a privileged port (well-known ports), the MFT Gateway must be executed as root user. Default: 1222 (Hub), 1224 (Gateway).	Hub Settings Gateways Settings
External Users SFTP Authentication Method	Determines one of the following authentication methods used for external users to connect with SFTP: Password or Key Password and key

Keystore File Password	Defines the password for the file that contains the server's certificate. Default: abcd1234 If you change this password, the keystore password is not changed. For more information, see Changing the MFT Keystore Password.	Hub Settings Gateways Settings
Allowed Ciphers	Determines the cipher security settings used for SFTP.	Hub Settings Gateways Settings
Authorized Keys File Path	Defines the path to the file that contains authorized users by SFTP. The authorized users file must include all internal users’ public keys. Each user should be included in the following format: <username> <ssh public key (ssh-rsa format)>	Hub Settings

FTP/S Settings

The following table describes FTP/S settings between the Hub and the MFT B2B Gateway.

Parameter	Description	Location
Listen for FTP/S connection	Determine whether the Hub/Gateway that supports client connection with the FTP/FTPS protocol is enabled. When internal users connect with FTP/S, they cannot access the B2B sub-folder. To access the B2B sub-folder from inside the organization, use SFTP protocol.	Hub Settings
