Managed File Transfer and Network Solutions

Overview

There will be times when you'll want to transfer files over a secure connection. One option is to use FTPS or FTP-SSL, which provides data-in-motion encryption through SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). But when you start to set up an FTPS service on the JSCAPE MFT Server Manager, you'll notice that you actually have 3 modes to choose from: SSL Explicit, SSL Implicit, and SSL Forced Explicit. 

JSCAPE is pleased to announce the release of AnyClient 4.3.  This release includes several GUI and performance enhancements, the biggest of which is the addition of streaming compression support for AFTP (Accelerated File Transfer Protocol) connections.  Utilizing streaming compression users can achieve an increase in throughput of up to 800%.  Other notable changes in the 4.3 release include much improved memory management and file transfer progress notifications.

Do you wish you could run reports on your JSCAPE MFT Server based on specific search results that were previously created on the Logging module? This capability can be particularly useful during audits or investigations, when you would like to get finer levels of reporting.

JSCAPE is pleased to announce the release of JSCAPE MFT Server 8.3.  This release contains several  improvements, the most notable being the addition of streaming compression support in it's AFTP (Accelerated File Transfer Protocol) service.  Utilizing streaming compression users can achieve file transfers up to 800% faster than before. 

Several security enhancements were also added to the latest release to help protect against common attack vectors and pass security compliance requirements.  All users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest version of JSCAPE MFT Server.

Overview

During the process of generating server keys, client keys, or PGP keys in the JSCAPE MFT Server Manager, you're asked to choose between two supported key algorithms: RSA or DSA. Which one should you choose?

JSCAPE is pleased to announce the release of JSCAPE MFT Gateway 1.5.  This release includes several enhancements, the most important of which is the ability to define URL rewrite rules when setting up a reverse proxies for HTTP/S protocols.

Overview

In this article we will discuss the creation of some security conscience notifications.  We will be using Triggers to respond via email when certain events take place that an administrator may wish to know about immediately.  This can be useful when you have a complex configuration on your JSCAPE MFT Server that includes many Users, Groups and Triggers.

Overview

In this article we will discuss how to use the Trigger Error Event Type to capture errors and respond to them.  In the example we are going to walk through we will be using the Trigger Error Event Type to capture the error from a failed action of another Trigger and send an email to the administrator. 

Overview

SSL file transfer is a term sometimes used in referring to a secure file transfer protocol known as FTPS or FTP-SSL. FTP is a network protocol used for transferring files, while SSL is a protocol for encrypting information sent over a network. This post is meant to help users understand what FTPS is and what it is capable of doing, particularly in terms of enhancing the security of your file transfers.

Overview

Secure file transfers typically employ public key cryptography. This cryptographic system involves the use of two different keys: a public key and a private key. In JSCAPE MFT Server, such keys can be easily generated, imported, and exported in the Key Manager. But some first-time users find it hard to even start using the Key Manager. One reason for that is because they fail to see the difference between server keys and client keys.
