Where we can run MFT commands from

The following table summarize whether Managed File Transfer commands can be run locally or remotely.

Where the command is shown as:

Local only - the commands can only run on the local installation.
Local to agent - the commands can only run on the local agent installation relevant to that command.
For example, the fteCreateBridgeAgent command can connect to the local bridge agent, shown as X (Bridge) and the fteCreateCDAgent command can connect to the local CD agent, shown as X (CD).
Local to logger agent- the commands can only run on the local logger installation.
Local and remote - we can run the command from any system that can connect to the command or coordination queue manager.

If there are no X characters for a command in the table, the command cannot be run in that situation.
