/admin/mft/transfer

You can use the HTTP GET method with the transfer resource to request information about Managed File Transfer transfers. You can use the HTTP POST method to put a transfer request message to the command queue manager, which will be routed to the source agent queue manager.

Note: You cannot use this resource with the stand-alone IBM® MQ Web Server. For more information about the installation options for the IBM MQ component that runs the administrative REST API, see The IBM MQ Console and REST API.

Overview of the HTTP GET method

As a user you can obtain the transfer details of file transfers that have been initiated.

You can retrieve the transfer details of all the transfers that are initiated using the coordination queue manager defined in the mqwebuser.xml and a list of all the transfers initiated by yourself. For example, if you initiated 100 transfers and want to know the status of those transfers, the GET method serves the purpose.

See GET for more information.

Overview of the HTTP POST method

As an administrator, you must create a file transfer as necessary for a particular task, or to schedule a new file transfer. This API facilitates in creating the transfer, and also allows you to request a scheduled file transfer.

You can perform a scheduled file transfer once or repeat the transfer multiple times. You can :

Schedule a file transfer to occur once, or to occur at regular intervals, for example, every minute.
Specify the occurrences to stop at a defined time and date, or after a defined number of occurrences.
Specify that the occurrences continue forever.

See POST for more information.
