Setting up a new FTP server can be a great choice for your business. There are multiple items to take into account. Start by identifying the functionalities you need, like what operating systems will be used with the FTP server. JSCAPE supports multiple systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS 10.x, Solaris, Linux, Linux Z/OS and AIX 5.x/6.x/7.x platforms.
Security is a must for every organization. One of JSCAPE's biggest advantages is that it supports multiple file transfer protocols: SFTP, FTPS, AS2, OFTP2. Security capabilities include events logging, encryption of data-at-rest, additional authentication, access control mechanisms, as well as features for DLP and password management.
Normally, free FTP solutions have big security gaps when connecting to remote servers, so depending on what your company needs, you might want to choose a solution that has detailed logs, encryption to preserve data confidentiality (JSCAPE supports TLS/SSL and SSH), dynamic blocking of IPs or user accounts after too many failed login attempts, strong password policies to prevent unauthorized access, and two-factor authentication.
Some companies have very restrictive compliance policies they need to follow, so that’s why you can’t just go with any solution the market has to offer. If you review the data transfer-related requirements of regulations like PCI DSS or HIPAA, you'll realize that FTP clients and servers fail to meet many of these requirements. JSCAPE is PCI DSS and HIPAA compliant.
