Before you begin
About this task
There are two versions of the file transfer Web application: a secured version and an unsecured version. The secured version of this file, which is the version that authenticates its caller, is installed by default. The secured version is located in the app_server_root/systemApps/filetransferSecured.ear directory. The unsecured version, which is the version that does not authenticate its caller, is located in the app_server_root/systemApps/filetransfer.ear directory
The file transfer Web application, which handles both authenticated and non-authenticated requests, is located in the app_server_root/systemApps/filetransferSecured.ear directory.
In WebSphere Application Server a mixed cell environments, file transfer is a system application. You can activate authentication in the file transfer service by redeploying the file transfer Web application at the deployment manager level.
