Host Information
This topic explains how to register detailed information for the host on the sending side and the host on the receiving side.
When you add a Transfer definition, HULFT-HUB Manager automatically generates the Host Information from the Registered Client Information of the clients in HULFT-HUB system and registers the information.
You can view and modify this information on the following screens:
- Register Host Information/Modify Host Information Record screen
- Collecting and Distributing System Management Information screen
You can also import and export this information on the following screen:
- Collecting and Distributing System Management Information screen

The following describes the fields that are configured in the Host Information.
For a field for which you select an option from the list, the following shows both the options that are displayed on the screen and the values that are described in the CSV file to be used for Collecting and Distributing System Management Information.
These fields are the basic settings for remote hosts for file transfer.
This field specifies the name of the host on the sending side or of the host on the receiving side.
For the Send processing, this host name is associated with the host name of the Transfer Group Information.

For a host that carries out file transfer via HULFT-HUB Server, specify the host name within 44 bytes.
Specify the correct name that is registered on the remote host as the Host Name. The Host Name is case sensitive.
| [Note] | Specify only alphanumeric characters for the host name. Although you can use specific symbols in order to ensure backward compatibility, HULFT may not operate correctly if you do so. |
