Overview In order to keep transactions secure, you and your trading partners likely use SFTP and other encrypted protocols for your automated data exchanges. In this post, I'd like to share a method that can reduce the steps you typically take in applying SFTP automation to certain business processes. Here, you'll learn how to gather remote host credentials into a single entity, which you can later on reuse every time you need to construct another automated process.

Overview In this post, we'll discuss the algorithms in a typical SFTP server and explain their basic functions. We'll cover algorithms for key exchanges, ciphers, MACs, and compressions. After that, we'll dive into the JSCAPE MFT Server Manager Web GUI and show you where you can configure those SFTP algorithms. Having a basic understanding of these algorithms and knowing where to configure them will enable you to strengthen your SFTP server's security or troubleshoot certain client connection issues. Note: SFTP runs on SSH, and the algorithms you'll be setting are actually SSH algorithms.

Overview This post is for those of you who want to dive right into the steps of setting up a SFTP server. I'm sure some of you have been resourceful enough to go through the documentation and sift through all the relevant pages in there. But for those who just want one place for it all, this is the article for you. For this tutorial, I'll be using JSCAPE MFT Server, our managed FTP server that supports SSH FTP as well as a number of other secure file transfer protocols. Since this managed file transfer server is built from Java, it can run on different platforms, including Microsoft Windows (32 and 64 bit), Linux/UNIX, Solaris, AIX, IBM z/OS and Mac OS, with support for SSL and TSL. If you want to follow this tutorial, you may download a free evaluation edition of JSCAPE MFT Server by clicking here.

JSCAPE MFT Server encrypted file transfer protocols like SFTP and those secured through TLS (e.g. HTTPS, FTPS, AS2, OFTP, and WebDAVS) can be configured for FIPS compliance. Since this is a function that isn't switched on by default, you might wonder if it's necessary to enable it at all.

The problem with using a single SFTP server Organizations in different industries like finance, healthcare and retail rely on an SFTP server to transfer files internally and externally. However, using a single SFTP server can result in a failed data transfer workflow, especially if you don’t have a backup plan to correct it. If your organization’s SFTP server experiences hardware issues, glitches, network outages or a security breach, in-progress data transfers may be interrupted, and your data’s integrity could also be compromised. This system issue won’t only lead to communication and security concerns, but it could also cause substantial business disruption because of unexpected and unnecessary downtime. Downtime translates to financial losses, operational delays and reputational damage.

Theoretically, RSA keys that are 2048 bits long should be good until 2030. If so, isn't it a bit early to start using the 4096-bit keys that have become increasingly available in encryption-enabled applications? It depends.
