Centralized management uses a single platform to control file transfers and related processes. It simplifies administration while improving visibility, consistency and policy enforcement.

A certificate spill occurs when a private key or digital certificate is exposed unintentionally. This compromises encrypted communications and can allow unauthorized access or impersonation.

CFTP is a certification that validates expertise in secure file transfer technologies and practices. It demonstrates knowledge of protocols, security controls and compliance requirements.

Checkpoint restart allows file transfers to resume from the last successful point after interruption. It avoids restarting from the beginning and saves time and bandwidth.

A clear text password is stored or transmitted in an unencrypted, readable format. This creates significant security risk because it can be easily intercepted or exposed.

Cloud MFT is a managed file transfer solution hosted in a cloud environment. It enables secure, scalable and automated data exchange without on-premises infrastructure.

Cloud native refers to applications designed specifically to run in cloud environments. These systems use scalable, distributed architectures for flexibility and rapid updates.

Compression reduces file size before transmission to improve transfer speed and efficiency. It also lowers storage requirements and optimizes network usage.

A connector links systems or applications to enable data exchange between them. It supports integration by allowing automated communication without manual intervention.

A control file contains instructions that define how other files should be processed or transferred. It ensures consistency by guiding workflows, validation and routing steps.

Cut-off time is the deadline for processing or accepting files within a defined window. Files received after this point are typically handled in the next cycle.

CRC is an error-detection method that generates a value based on file contents. It’s used to verify data integrity by identifying accidental changes during transmission.
