Direct data transfer from client systems

Transfer of data or files local to client software directly to the CLC Server is allowed only if the option Files uploaded via Import/Export location is selected in the Direct data transfer from client systems section under the Main configuration tab. This option is enabled for selection if at least one import/export directory is configured under Import/export directories, as shown in figure 3.6.
