Using the WebSphere MQ Managed File Transfer Service Web Gateway

You can upload files, query the files in a file space, view the status of file transfers, and delete files from a file space by creating HTTP requests that you submit to the Web Gateway.

Before configuring or using the Web Gateway, refer to Scenarios for the Web Gateway and How the Web Gateway fits into your WebSphere MQ Managed File Transfer topology. These topics explain the purpose and components of the Web Gateway.

You can customize your HTTP requests by using HTTP headers or HTML form fields to supply extended information with your request. For more information about the options available, see HTTP headers and HTML form fields for using the Web Gateway.

The following topics explain how to create HTTP requests to submit to the Web Gateway. For more information about the format of these requests and the Web Gateway API, see Web Gateway API reference.

You do not need administrative rights to use these examples. If you want to administer the Web Gateway, for example by creating or deleting file spaces for users, see the topic Administering the WebSphere MQ Managed File Transfer Service Web Gateway.
