File Transfer (HTTP)

The File Transfer (HTTP) plugin emulates uploading and downloading user files over HTTP or HTTPS. Use it to test file service throughput, antivirus gateways, proxies, DLP/NGFW devices, and monitoring systems.

Before configuring the plugin, upload the files under Library → User files and wait for them to synchronize with the agents.
