Installing on Mac OS X

To install JSCAPE MFT Server on a Mac OS 10.3.2 (and above) platform perform the following:

1.  Download and run the install.dmg installation file for JSCAPE MFT Server.

2.  Follow the steps in the installation wizard.

3.  If you are running any firewall software make sure that it is setup to allow JSCAPE MFT Server to run.

4.  Start the JSCAPE MFT Server Service.  Service will start automatically following installation.  If service is not started then you may start it manually as root user using the ./start_service.sh command from a terminal shell prompt.

In order to have service start automatically upon system reboot edit the /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.jscape.MFTServer.plist file and set the value for the OnDemand parameter to false.

5.  Verify that JSCAPE MFT Server Service is running using the following command from your shell prompt:

netstat -a | grep 10880

where 10880 is the listening port for JSCAPE MFT Server Service.

6.  Launch JSCAPE MFT Server Manager to connect and configure your server.
