Some organizations that deal with exceptionally sensitive information need to employ very stringent access restrictions to their internal networks. While a DMZ consisting of firewalls and reverse proxies can, in most cases, meet such requirements, providing network services from the internal network to external clients while also prohibiting inbound connections can be quite challenging. This little reverse proxy enhancement can simplify things.

There are a couple of reasons why you'll want to map file transfer server drives to Samba shares. Maybe your users have existing files on a separate machine that doesn't have any file transfer service running on it but does have Samba. Or perhaps your file transfer server lacks disk space and you want to extend storage on a separate (Samba-equipped) machine.

Whatever your reasons are, this is how you map FTP, FTPS, or SFTP server drives to Samba shares on JSCAPE MFT Server.

Overview

Some time in the past, we showed our readers how to set up a managed file transfer server so that it could email certain people a list of all old files. That email was meant to be sent only to a select number of individuals, presumably the server admins. But what if you wanted to email each user their own individual lists? This blog post will teach you how.

The latest release of JSCAPE MFT Server (9.3) has a new way of storing all configuration and message data; one that makes it easier for server clustering, scaling out, and implementing high availability. Let's talk about it.

In our last post, we talked about how you could get more granular when delegating administrative privileges on your MFT Server by using what we call Administrative Roles. Today, we teach you how to get even more granular by employing Administrative Tags.

Overview

Many MFT server deployments are being managed by multiple administrators. But because these admins usually have different tasks and responsibilities, there's been a growing clamor for greater granularity when delegating admin privileges. That granularity has finally arrived.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership has drawn a tsunami of reactions both for and against it. For sure, it's going to be a game changer in global trade. But how does it concern us?

Business transactions are now accompanied by massive data exchanges. It's thus expected for the agreement to tackle the conduct of those data exchanges as well. In this post, we take a look at the agreement's provisions on data transfers and try to understand how they might affect current practices.

As of this writing, the United States and European Union are in the thick of negotiations for a new Safe Harbor agreement. The result can have a profound impact on thousands of global businesses. In this post, we introduce you to the original Safe Harbor, how it came about, why it's been recently invalidated, and the possible impacts its future holds for a large number of businesses.

There are two ways of exchanging EDI messages. You can do it directly or you can course it through a third party service provider like a VAN (Value Added Network). While the first option is generally more complicated, it's certainly very doable. In this post, we'll talk about some of the key components you'll have to secure before you can start sending EDI messages directly to your trading partners.

Overview

The most widely used secure file transfer protocols, SFTP and FTPS, get their security from underlying protocols. SFTP from SSH and FTPS from SSL. Let's compare the two.
