This is the documentation for the console version of File Gateway. The old version is no longer supported.
Documentation for the new version of File Gateway is located here.

The service web based interface is designed to:

  • configure and manage file gateway;
  • view sent and received messages;
  • display the statistics summary;
  • view the system log.

Web interface is available if you are running File gateway.

To go to the web-interface is enter http://localhost:8081/ in the browser address bar where PORT is the port number (default: http://localhost:8080/). 

The port number specified in the section Settings→Web interface or in a configuration file svc.config .

This will open the service’s home page.

If the web interface is not available or the user that runs the service has been replaced, you need to manually set access to the HTTP-protocol. To do this:

  1. run the command line as an administrator;

  2. run the netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:8081/ user=SERVICE_USER command, where PORT is a port number (default port is 8080)SERVICE_USER is the name of the user, on whose behalf the service is running.

When you change the URL, you need to restart the service to apply your settings.

If the user was replaced, the port can stay busy by the previous userWhen going into the web interface error The Url reservation add failed, Error183Cannot create a file when that file already exists will open.
To solve the problem, you must delete permissions on the port from the previous user with the command netsh http delete urlacl url=http://+:8080/.
