Testing the Configuration
After you have installed DMZ Gateway , created and configured a Profile , and enabled DMZ Gateway in
EFT Server or Mail Express , you can test your configuration by connecting to the server via DMZ
Gateway and transferring a few files.
To test your configuration
Suppose your server is at IP address 192.168.174.176 and DMZ Gateway is at IP address
192.168.174.142, and you have configured DMZ Gateway in the server to allow connections over the
HTTPS port 443.
1. Open a browser and in the address bar type
https://192.168.174.142
(the IP address of
DMZ Gateway), then press ENTER.
2. You should be prompted to log in. Type the login credentials from a user defined on the server to
which you want to connect.
3. Transfer a few files.
4. On the Status tab, you should see the numbers increase in the Client Bytes Read , Client Bytes
Written , Server Bytes Read , and Server Bytes Written columns. Click Refresh , if necessary.
(Note that if you connect to the server's IP address to transfer files, you are not going through the
DMZ Gateway and, therefore, will not see any statistics change.)

With EFT Server, in the folder for the account that you used to log in (e.g.,
C:\Inetpub\EFTRoot\GSSite\Usr\<username> ), you should see the files that you
transferred.

With Mail Express, your recipient should receive a link to the files you uploaded to Mail
Express.
5. If you are not able to connect, refer to Troubleshooting DMZ Gateway Communication .
