JSCAPE is pleased to announce the release of JSCAPE MFT Server 9.0. This version is a major upgrade from previous versions with development efforts focused on the release of a new web based administrative interface. The new administrative interface replaces the Java based client and allows for the server to be managed using any modern web browser, including those found on Android and iOS tablet devices.

"Over the past year we have successfully migrated all of our enterprise file transfer solutions to a web based platform. These efforts have been key for our long term strategy and provide our customers greater flexibility and ease of use when managing their file transfers." said Van Glass, Product Manager for JSCAPE MFT Server.

In addition to the new administrative user interface a number of other product enhancements are available in the latest version. Notable enhancements include include improved AS2 support and the ability to download collections of files as a ZIP archive when using the web client. For a complete list of all changes please see the version history.

For any business, its data is a critical part of its functioning. This data is constantly being accessed and shared among employees, clients and staff, making secure file transfer services essential.
With the amount of information flooding in and out of company servers, there is always a higher chance of data loss during the transfer, and more importantly, a system could be hacked, and its security breached.

JSCAPE is pleased to announce the release of JSCAPE MFT Gateway 3.0.  This release is a major upgrade from previous versions adding several improvements to the clustering module, support for additional protocols, caching of HTTP/S content, and the ability to reverse proxy services without opening any inbound ports to your internal networks.

The Heartbleed vulnerability (CVE-2014-0160) was recently made public and has been known to affect a large number of applications (client and server) utilizing the OpenSSL library and SSL/TLS.

JSCAPE is pleased to announce the latest release of JSCAPE MFT Server Plugin for Outlook. This version (3.0) includes several improvements, the most notable being added support for Outlook 2013 and the ability to perform ad-hoc file transfers using either of the available REST or WebDAV services in JSCAPE MFT Server.

Overview: What is SAML?

Since version 8.8, JSCAPE MFT Server (now at v9.1) has already supported SAML Web SSO. Although we introduced SSO and its benefits in previous posts, we never went into the details of specific Web SSO standards like SAML and OpenID (another supported Web SSO).
