 Before creating a custom trigger action, you need to have Kaspersky anti-virus software installed in the

 server where JSCAPE MFT Server is running.

 

2. Create a Trigger for KasperSky directory scan and remove infected files

The Parameters for the action "Kasper Sky virus Scan" are ;

  • Location 
  • Arguments
  • Output Log

 

As the name indicates, Location is the path where "kesl-control" process is located. Arguments represent the parameters needed for "kesl-control" command line to work. Multiple arguments can be passed using comma separator. For removing infected files use the parameter as ;

 

--scan-file,<directory-to-scan>,--action,remove

 

Output log is the file where all scan information will be written.

Click OK to save the settings
