Script Client Interface

The DMZTransfer script client is a utility program that is installed at a client site to allow uploading and downloading of files to and from the DMZTransfer web site. In this way the client is similar to an FTP client which talks to an FTP server. Unlike most FTP processes however, the client does the following:

• communicates via HTTPS (a secure version of HTTP, the web's protocol)
• interacts with the scheduling and monitoring interfaces of the DMZTransfer server

The script client is written in Java and is able to run on many platforms, with some variances in configuration between Windows and UNIX.

The intended use of the script client is as a component in an automated script, managed by system administrators, that automatically uploads and downloads files from the DMZTransfer host.

The Windows version includes a Java 1.3 JRE.

The UNIX version requires a Java 1.3 JRE specific to the version of UNIX being used.
