Learn how to upgrade your Relais File Transfer Service (RFTS)

Capture existing setting

Prior to starting the upgrade, you need to capture the existing setting from the machine where Relais File Transfer Service (RFTS) is currently running. To capture the existing setting:

  1. Click on Control Panel and select Administrative Tools.
    • You can either select Services or open service.msc from the run box.
  2. Right-click on RelaisFileTranferService and select Properties.
  3. On the General tab, make sure that the Startup Type is set to Disabled.
  4. Click on the Log on tab and check that the Log On is set to Local System Acount.
    • If it is not set to Local System Account then record the value of this account. 

Unistall/install file transfer service build

  1. Unistall the current file transfer service from add/remove pgorams via the Control Panel in Windows.

 Note: the settings are stored in the system registry and are not removed when the service is uninstalled.

  1. Install the current version of the file transfer service.
  2. Unzip/extract the build to your desktop and run the setup.exe. Do not choose the setup.msi.

 Note: If you are installing the service on a Window 7 workstation, then you must right-click on the setup.exe and choose Run as administrator to launch the install. If the installer reports that the RFTS is already installed, then use Add/Remove Programs via the Control Panel in Windows to remove the existing version of the RFTS.
