Manage File Station Options

To manage File Station settings, open File Station and click the Settings button.

General

Here you can enable File Station logs to record the activities of all users. The user activities include Create folder, Upload, Download, Delete, Rename, Move, Copy and Property set.

To enable File Station log:

1. If you want to record the activities of all users, tick Enable File Station log.
2. Click OK.

To see the File Station log:

1. Click View Logs, which will lead you to Log Center.
2. Click File Transfer tab.

To automatically overwrite files with drag-and-drop uploading or keyboard shortcuts:

Tick Always overwrite files when I drag and drop them onto Web browser or paste with keyboard shortcuts if you want to automatically overwrite files with the same name when dragging and dropping files from your computer desktop onto web browser, or pasting files with keyboard shortcuts within File Station.

To browse and manage files from the local computer with File Station:

1. Tick Browse files from the local computer with File Station.
2. Click OK.

Shared Links

By default, all users can share file links. Here you can limit the access to shared links management to administrators only.

To determine who can share file links:

1. Choose All users, Administrators, or Specific users.
2. Click OK.

To open HTML files as plain text:

1. Tick the box Always open HTML files using plain text format. If this option is enabled, HTML files (i.e. HTM, HTML, JSP, XHTML files) are displayed using plain text format when users open them via a file sharing link. This option helps prevent malicious parties from hijacking user login sessions by using embedded script in HTML files.
2. Click OK.

Speed Limit

You can enable a speed limit to control the maximum usable bandwidth for users who transfer data via File Station.

To enable speed limit:

1. Tick the box marked Enable speed limit, or Enable speed limit according to a schedule if you would like to implement a speed limit at specific times only. This is a server-wide setting and will override the settings of individual users. Choosing No speed limit disables the speed limit settings of all users.
2. Click Speed Limit Settings to modify the settings for individual users. For each user, you can select one of the following:
• No speed limit: No speed limit will be applied when users transfer files with the service.
• Constant: A fixed, constant speed limit will be applied to the user. Upload and download speed limits can be specified in the fields to the left.
• Variable: Two different speed limits can be specified and applied to the user according to a schedule. Click the Customize button to modify the speed limit settings and set a schedule.
3. Click Apply.

Security

Here you can find the below security settings.

To open HTML files as plain text:

1. Tick the box Always open HTML files using plain text format. If this option is enabled, HTML files (i.e. HTM, HTML, JSP, XHTML files) are displayed using plain text format when opened in File Station. This option helps prevent malicious parties from hijacking user login sessions by using embedded script in HTML files.

Note:

• This is not a global setting. Each user can choose whether or not to enabled this option according to his individual needs.
2. Click OK.
