Creating an MFT Enterprise post processing rule

This procedure describes how to create an MFT Enterprise post processing rule. After an external user uploads a file, the Hub receives it and processes the file based on defined rules such as moving the file to another location and sending alert email messages.

EXAMPLES: Run anti-virus for each arriving file and delete it if the scan fails. Order a job that transfers an arriving file from the Hub to a specific server. Copy all files that appear in Folder1/incoming to backup directory on the network.
