Overview Last week, while responding to one of the tickets at our HelpDesk, I noticed that the port number used wasn't standard. While we encounter this quite often, the use of non-standard ports is one of those practices where many IT folks have opposing views. On one side you have those who consider the use of non-standard ports a form of "security through obscurity" and hence discourage it. On the other, you have those who actually recommend it. Clearly, the topic makes for an interesting discussion, so here we are to discuss it.

Overview Although you can run AS2 over HTTPS in order to provide encryption, authentication, data integrity, and non-repudiation to your EDI exchanges, it's not necessary. You can still get the same level of protection if you use AS2's built-in support for encryption and digital signatures. We already talked about AS2 encryption in a previous post, so this time, let's focus on digital signatures.

Overview Over the last few months, we've been receiving a growing number of inquiries on how to enable support for SHA2 certificates in JSCAPE MFT Server. We later learned that the intention was not just to accommodate SHA2-signed certs but to actually replace SHA1-signed certs with them.In this post, we explain why people are moving from SHA1 to SHA2 and why you need to do so as well.

Overview Some organizations that deal with exceptionally sensitive information need to employ very stringent access restrictions to their internal networks. While a DMZ consisting of firewalls and reverse proxies can, in most cases, meet such requirements, providing network services from the internal network to external clients while also prohibiting inbound connections can be quite challenging. This little reverse proxy enhancement can simplify things.

Overview There are a couple of reasons why you'll want to map file transfer server drives to Samba shares. Maybe your users have existing files on a separate machine that doesn't have any file transfer service running on it but does have Samba. Or perhaps your file transfer server lacks disk space and you want to extend storage on a separate (Samba-equipped) machine. Whatever your reasons are, this is how you map FTP, FTPS, or SFTP server drives to Samba shares on JSCAPE MFT Server.

Overview Some time in the past, we showed our readers how to set up a managed file transfer server so that it could email certain people a list of all old files. That email was meant to be sent only to a select number of individuals, presumably the server admins. But what if you wanted to email each user their own individual lists? This blog post will teach you how.

Overview In our last post, we talked about how you could get more granular when delegating administrative privileges on your MFT Server by using what we call Administrative Roles. Today, we teach you how to get even more granular by employing Administrative Tags.

Overview Many MFT server deployments are being managed by multiple administrators. But because these admins usually have different tasks and responsibilities, there's been a growing clamor for greater granularity when delegating admin privileges. That granularity has finally arrived.
