As one of the easiest-to-use managed file transfer solutions available, JSCAPE MFT is able to support a variety of users, including those that need to work using languages other than English. 

In response to security incidents which have impacted other managed file transfer (MFT) providers over the past year, Redwood has significantly increased its security posture across all  File Transfer products. 

Managed File Transfer (MFT) has become an essential component of secure data exchange for businesses. Whether you are transferring sensitive financial information, confidential customer data, or critical intellectual property, selecting the right MFT solution is crucial. The security of your data and the trustworthiness of the solution are paramount considerations. Given recent breaches that have affected several MFT solutions, we will discuss important security criteria that should be considered.

Forward Proxy vs. Reverse Proxy. What's the Difference?

A forward proxy acts on behalf of clients, controlling access to internet resources, enhancing security, and enforcing policies. Conversely, a reverse proxy serves on behalf of servers, managing requests from external clients, providing load balancing, and increasing security by concealing server identities. Forward proxies protect internal network clients; reverse proxies safeguard servers from external threats.

Automated SFTP file transfers are traditionally done through scripts, but there's a much easier way. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to automate SFTP file transfers without scripting a single line of code.

Overview

In an earlier quickstart guide to setting up an AS2 server, we featured a manual method for sending EDI messages. Because EDI transactions are best carried out automatically, we thought it would be a good idea to show you how to implement real-time transactions on the same solution we used in that post.

AS2 (applicability statement 2) uses public keys and private keys to encrypt files being transferred between IP addresses. With AS2, security, authentication, message integrity and privacy are ensured with encryption, digital certificates and nonrepudiation techniques. AS2 provides greater security for your EDI data than standard FTP, supporting synchronous and asynchronous MDN (message disposition notification) and digital signatures.

Plus, with JSCAPE's AS2 server you can send files regardless of file size and content type.

In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the basic steps of how to set up and configure an AS2 server.

AS2 uses public keys and private keys to encrypt/decrypt file transfers, strengthening security around sensitive documents and information. While AS1 relied on SMTP, AS2 uses S/MIME and HTTP/S to move data between IP addresses. With AS2, security, authentication, message integrity and privacy are ensured with encryption, digital certificates and nonrepudiation techniques.

Below are the initial steps that will eventually allow you to carry out EDI transactions with an increasing number of trading partners already using this popular B2B file transfer protocol.

Overview: What Is AES?

First adopted by the U.S. government to protect classified information, Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) has long gained global acceptance and is used for securing sensitive data in various industries. In this post, we'll discuss AES encryption and explain its vital role in securing sensitive files sent over the Internet.

Most customers who use SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) for file transfer automation prefer to authenticate SFTP clients through SFTP keys instead of passwords. Given the numerous inquiries on how to set up and use SFTP public key authentication, we decided to publish how-to articles to help organizations that wish to implement this authentication method in their SFTP environment. This article will focus on setting up instructions for the command line.

One of the major security features of SSH FTP is public key authentication. This authentication method allows JSCAPE MFT Server to verify a user's identity during login by asking for only the user's secret item — an SFTP private key file (SSH key). Using keys to authenticate users while requiring a username and passphrase gives us two-factor authentication.
