Transfer Engine (SDK) 

You can purchase the necessary amount of licenses up front or after the TE has 

expired on the end user machine. The benefit of licensing up front is that you can 

distribute the TE and register it on the end user's machine. They will not see any 

prompts or registration related dialogs. 

Once you have licensed the TE, you must install it (if not already installed) and then 

register it on each target machine. 

You are not permitted to distribute the TE as a component of an FTP client or other 

product that competes with CuteFTP or GlobalSCAPE s Secure FTP Server.

Installation   Steps to Install the TE 

1.  Locate the TE component (ftpte.exe), the End User License Agreement (license.txt), 

and the TE's subordinate dynamic link libraries (sftp21.dll, ssl.dll, etc.) and the 

resource file (default.lng) on your developer (source) machine.  

2.  Package the TE along with the other items mentioned in Step 1, along with your 

installation program, script, or executable. 

Note: 

You do NOT need to install the full copy of CuteFTP on the end user's 

machine unless you require interaction from CuteFTP  GUI. If you were 

distributing a custom made application, this would not be the case.  

Note: 

For setting specific options only available through the GUI (that is, no 

property or method available), you can copy specific registry settings 

from the source computer to the destination. Most all settings are stored 

in the registry under the following hive: 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GlobalSCAPE\CuteFTP

Registration   Automated Registration 

The first method of registering the TE is the most efficient when dealing with a large 

amount of target systems, or when you do not have direct access to the target system. Your 

application installer or script can perform the steps below to transparently register the TE. 

1.  Purchase a license for the amount of TE seats you want to distribute. 

2.  Install a copy of the Transfer Engine and related components onto the target 

machine.
