About this task
WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition Remote Tools and Documentation is not supported on IBM i systems. If you want to use the WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition plug-in for the WebSphere MQ Explorer, install the Remote Tools and Documentation component on Linux or Windows to remotely manage queue managers and file transfers between agents running on an IBM i system.
To install WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition on IBM i platforms, the user that performs the installation or the uninstall must have a user profile of *SECOFR class.
On IBM i systems, the installation location and the configuration location are fixed. The product installation is installed in the /QIBM/ProdData/WMQFTE/V7 directory in the integrated file system and the data directory is created under the /QIBM/UserData/WMQFTE/V7/config directory.
