If you're a programmer, you've already learned dozens of TLA's (Three Letter Acronyms). If a phrase has four words, of course, we don't call the acronym an "FLA" because any civilian could understand that. We call it an ETLA (Extended Three Letter Acronym)! In the previous article, you saw how to use JSCAPE's Secure FTP Factory to safely transmit files using the fine ETLA FTPS. This time, we'll show you an even better way to transfer files securely using the even cooler ETLA SFTP. Being able to remember things like this is the mark of a professional programmer.

When two little kids want to exchange a secret, a lot of negotiation is necessary: "Promise you won't tell? Cross your heart and hope to die?". When a client and server computer want to exchange secrets, they need to negotiate too: public keys, encryption methods, ports and more. Fortunately, JSCAPE's Secure FTP Factory and server software (such as JSCAPE MFT Server) handle most of the details for you.

Here's some philosophy to go with the Secure FTP Factory library. There are some things in life that you should never do unless you feel completely secure. One of them is withdrawing money from an ATM. You should do this only in a safe, well lit and preferably high traffic environment where you are unlikely to be robbed. Another is uploading or downloading files using plain FTP (File Transfer Protocol).

Configuring JSCAPE MFT Server to auto-update Kaspersky database In Part 1 of this article, you learned how to automate virus scanning on files uploaded with JSCAPE MFT Server using the Kaspersky Antivirus 8 for Linux File Server. But of course, we know very well that new viruses are created every hour. So, your Kaspersky antivirus database has to be updated if you want it to scan effectively. Here in Part 2, we’ll teach you how to setup your JSCAPE MFT Server for automated updates. Basically, you’ll be setting up a regular schedule for those virus database updates. Actually, Kaspersky Antivirus 8 for Linux File Server already comes with its own scheduling feature, which also allows a user to setup a scheduled update. It’s even possible to configure Kaspersky for automatic updates during the Initial Configuration process, which follows right after installation. If you enable automatic updates that way, Kaspersky will run automatic antivirus database updates every 30 minutes. You can use those methods if you want. We’re just providing you with another option that can be carried out on your JSCAPE MFT Server Manager.
