If the selected folder contains files or sub-folders, you will want to consider the following points before proceeding:
Create a backup of the folder before you start encryption. It is strongly recommended you use the optional backup folder option to backup the selected folder before it is encrypted.
If existing Web Users have access to the target folder, stop all services (HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, SFTP, and AS2) before continuing. The folder and files will become unavailable during the encryption process.
The 'Created On' timestamp property for existing files in the target folder will be updated to the current system date/time during encryption. However, the last modified date will not be changed.
The ownership of any existing files in the target folder will be changed to the user profile that started the
Managed File Transfer
application.
Ensure the
Create a Backup of the Folder
option is checked.
The Backup Location field is automatically populated with a backup directory. You can specify a different location by using the
button.
The
Backup Compression
option is set to ZIP by default. Choose NONE if you do not want to compress your backup.
