Maintain URL Properties

PeopleSoft delivers all the necessary properties for use with URL identifiers. File transfers using FTP, SFTP, HTTP, and HTTPS protocols use a third-party library LibCurl. If you need to use non-delivered LibCurl properties, use this page to define them. After defining the property, use the URL Maintenance page to associate the property with the URL.

Select PeopleTools, and then Utilities , and then Administration , and then Administer File Processing to access the Maintain URL Properties page.

You can also access the page from the URL Properties dialog box.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Maintain URL Properties page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.
