fteCreateEnvironment (set up environment for Redistributable Managed File Transfer Agent)
The fteCreateEnvironment command sets the environment variable for the configuration and transfer of files for the Redistributable Managed File Transfer Agent.
Purpose
Use the fteCreateEnvironment command to set up the environment for using the Redistributable Managed File Transfer Agent. We can run this command with the -d parameter to specify the location for the MFT Agent data files. If we do not specify the -d parameter, the command creates the data files in the Redistributable Managed File Transfer Agent download location and sets the data path.
Syntax

Parameters
- -d (data_location)
