Installing View Transfer Server 6
View Transfer Server transfers data between local desktops and the datacenter during check in, check out,
and replication. To install View Transfer Server, you install the software on a Windows Server virtual
machine, add View Transfer Server to your View Manager deployment, and configure the Transfer Server
repository.
You must install and configure View Transfer Server if you deploy View Client with Local Mode on client
computers.
You must have a license to install View Transfer Server and use local desktops.
1 Install View Transfer Server on page 64
View Transfer Server downloads system-image files, synchronizes data between local desktops and
the corresponding remote desktops in the datacenter, and transfers data when users check in and
check out local desktops. You install View Transfer Server in a virtual machine that runs Windows
Server.
2 Add View Transfer Server to View Manager on page 65
View Transfer Server works with View Connection Server to transfer files and data between local
desktops and the datacenter. Before View Transfer Server can perform these tasks, you must add it to
your View Manager deployment.
3 Configure the Transfer Server Repository on page 66
The Transfer Server repository stores View Composer base images for linked-clone desktops that run
in local mode. To give View Transfer Server access to the Transfer Server repository, you must
configure it in View Manager. If you do not use View Composer linked clones in local mode, you do
not have to configure a Transfer Server repository.
4 Firewall Rules for View Transfer Server on page 67
Certain incoming TCP ports must be opened on the firewall for View Transfer Server instances.
5 Installing View Transfer Server Silently on page 67
You can install View Transfer Server silently by typing the installer filename and installation options
at the command line. With silent installation, you can efficiently deploy View components in a large
enterprise.
