An endpoint is a combination of a login account (an account on the node that has been configured for FASP file transfers) and a node address. For example, the endpoint userA@nodeA is User A's login account on Node A. Endpoints enable a user to create a transfer without entering login credentials. Sharing an endpoint with a user without login credentials allows that user to send or receive files without compromising security.
Wildcards can also be used within endpoints. For example, the wildcarded endpoint *@nodeA (interpreted as "all logins at node A") is automatically created when adding the node (in this case, nodeA) to Console. Using endpoints with wildcards, you can monitor all transfers on a given node as well as prompt for a specific login account when a user initiates a transfer on the node.
