Time to continue our tutorial on using JSCAPE MFT Server Agents. If you've been following our recent blog posts, you know that agents offer an easy way of exchanging files with hosts that don't have any file transfer service. We already taught you how to set up an Agent service and trading partner. So, this time, we're going to teach you how to install an agent on a remote host and then have that agent connect to our Agent service.

As discussed in our previous post, JSCAPE MFT Server now gives you the capability to perform automated data transfers with hosts with no file transfer service.

We'll start fulfilling that promise now by teaching you how to set up an Agent Service and an Agent Trading Partner.

As an IT administrator, you probably encountered this problem before — there's this host that you want to transfer files with on an automated basis but it doesn't have any file transfer service.

You can set up a similar process using any remote FTP/S service even if that service isn't running on a JSCAPE MFT Server instance. We'll show you how to do that in this post.

In a previous post on automated AS2 file transfers, we showed you how to configure JSCAPE MFT Server so that it would monitor a directory for newly added files and then, each time a new file is detected, transmit that file to an AS2 trading partner. Today, we're going to try something different. We're going to set up JSCAPE MFT Server to carry out an AS2 transmission on a pre-defined schedule.

Let's say a trading partner wants you to move files you download from their server to a designated archive folder on that same server. This is a B2B file transfer, so it has to be automated. Here's what you can do to achieve that using JSCAPE MFT Server.
