The Poodle vulnerability (CVE-2014-3566) has been patched in the latest version of JSCAPE MFT Server (9.0.7.126) by disabling the SSLv3 protocol.

JSCAPE is pleased to announce the release of JSCAPE MFT Monitor 3.1. This minor release adds a visual web based dashboard that provides tracking of memory and thread statistics over time.

Overview

OpenPGP encryption is an excellent way of securing sensitive files on a server. Even if the server is compromised, the information in those files can remain secret. On JSCAPE MFT Server, PGP encryption can be made to execute automatically. You can configure the server so that, as soon as a file is uploaded, the server will immediately encrypt it.

JSCAPE is pleased to announce the release of JSCAPE MFT Gateway 3.1. This release adds reverse proxy and load balancing support for UDP based services. MFT Gateway now supports virtually any TCP or UDP protocol, including but not limited to FTP/S, SFTP/SSH, POP3, IMAP and HTTP/S.

"The added support for UDP greatly expands the potential use cases for MFT Gateway while also providing high availability for AFTP (Accelerated File Transfer Protocol) services in our MFT Server product." stated Van Glass, Product Manager for JSCAPE.

A client wanted to know if there was a more efficient way of archiving and/or deleting old log files to clear up some storage space on their managed file transfer server. They were currently doing things manually and he understandably wanted to adopt some form of automation. Fortunately, JSCAPE MFT Server offers a solution and we'd like to detail the steps here so that anyone else interested may also follow it.

Major companies have been on the alert this year following the high-profile data breaches of several well-known companies, including Target and PF Chang's. Target's data breach, which affected 70 million customers in total, cost the company millions of dollars, as well as the value of consumer trust. Could trusted commerce website PayPal be potentially under fire, as well?

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?

Overview

JSCAPE MFT Servers can provide high availability file transfer services if you deploy two or more servers and set them up for clustering on JSCAPE MFT Gateway. But to achieve best results, your servers should be connected to a shared storage system. In this post, we'll talk about the advantages of using shared storage and how to set one up using FreeNAS.

Overview: What is an SSL File Transfer?

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.

An MDN is an electronic return receipt that a trading partner can optionally request during an AS2 interchange. The use of MDNs helps enforce data integrity and non-repudiation in AS2. In this post, we'll discuss the value of issuing an AS2 MDN, your options when using it, and an overview of the usual configurable MDN settings in a managed file transfer server.
