Browser Support

The Filetransfer appliance pushes some boundaries of what's possible with browsers. Please see the matrix below for different browser versions and their limitations:

Browser Supported Max Download Max Send
Internet Explorer 9 Yes 32 Gb 4 Gb
Internet Explorer 8 Yes 32 Gb 2 Gb
Internet Explorer 7 Yes 32 Gb 2 Gb
Internet Explorer 6 and earlier No (1.2.x was the last supported release) 4 Gb 2 Gb
Firefox Yes 32 Gb 2 Gb
Safari Yes 32 Gb 32 Gb
Chrome Yes 32 Gb 32 Gb

The Download and Send limitations are limitations in each browser. It's not possible to “fix” Internet Explorer to send a 8 Gb file, until Microsoft releases an updated version.

The unsupported status of Internet Explorer 6 and earlier means:

  • It is not tested, and will not be tested
  • No fixes will be made, or patches applied
  • It probably will still work (there's nothing that specifically prevents it from working)
  • The interface will not render correctly
  • You can still install an earlier version (1.2.x) if you have a license and really need to support it.
  • If IE6 is your primary target browser, you may be able to tweak the incorrect rendering by using the global stylesheet override, but be prepare that the interface will render incorrectly in every other browser
