The webinar discusses the FileCatalyst TransferAgent, a solution for file transfers that eliminates the need for Java applets, supporting major browsers and providing enhanced security features. Key motivations for migration include improved browser support and the introduction of new features, such as email notifications and a simplified installation process. The presentation also includes demos for migrating from existing FileCatalyst applets and outlines upcoming features and improvements.

What is FileCatalyst TransferAgent?
In a nutshell:
TransferAgent combines a desktop application (the “agent” itself) with an HTML5
interface that allows browsing local or remote file listings, selecting files for transfer, and
initiating UDP file transfer without the use of browser plugins.
