File Synchronization

File synchronization is a process that exchanges files between two hosts, or nodes, using a mode that defines the rules for synchronization. Synchronization modes include mirror, synchronize, backup and contribute.

JSCAPE MFT Server supports file synchronization using all major file transfer protocols including FTP/S, SFTP, AFTP and HTTP/S, cloud protocols such as Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure Blob and Google Drive, and a lightweight Agent protocol that may be freely used by nodes that do not have a file transfer service installed and/or that have firewall policies preventing inbound connections.

Utilizing a hub and spoke network topology JSCAPE MFT Server is able to synchronize files from spoke to hub, hub to spoke or spoke to spoke all with ease and complete visibility.

Synchronization Modes

Synchronize

New and modified files from node A and node B are copied to each other.

Backup

All files from node A are copied to node B.

Contribute

New files from node A are copied to node B.
