    Hi Pradeep,


    Connect:Direct offers Integrated File agent apart from Standalone File Agent which gives modern UI with improved UX and we see multitude of traction & adoption. IFA doesn't need password in plaintext and it fetches from CD nodes.


    I would endorse switching over to Integrated File agent, please let me know incase otherwise ?

    Thanks,

    James
