OFTP server FAQs

What is OFTP?

Odette file transfer protocol (OFTP) is a communication protocol designed for secure and efficient file exchange between business partners, especially in industries like automotive, manufacturing and logistics. Developed by the Odette Organization (Organization for Data Exchange by Tele Transmission in Europe), OFTP is used primarily for B2B transactions.

In enterprise environments, OFTP is often integrated into MFT platforms that automate and secure data exchange between trading partners. OFTP is also supported on legacy X.25 networks, though these are largely phased out in favor of internet-based transfers.

Learn more about OFTP, including security features, why companies use it and more.

Is OFTP secure?

Yes, OFTP can be secure when using OFTP2, which includes modern security features designed for enterprise-level file exchange, including:

Authentication: Partners can authenticate one another to prevent unauthorized access.
Digital signatures: Used to verify the sender’s identity and confirm that the file hasn’t been tampered with
Encryption: Files can be encrypted using strong algorithms (typically AES) to ensure confidentiality during transit.
Message integrity checks: Ensures that transferred files arrive exactly as sent
Transport layer security: OFTP2 can be run over secure networks (e.g., TLS over TCP/IP).

What is the difference between OFTP and OFTP2?

OFTP and OFTP2 are both protocols for secure data exchange, but OFTP2 is the newer, more secure version designed for internet-based data transfer. OFTP was originally designed for X.25 and ISDN networks, while OFTP2 is built for the internet and offers enhanced security features.

OFTP2 includes enhanced security features like encryption and digital certificates, can transfer larger files and offers better compression capabilities than OFTP.

What is the difference between AS2 and OFTP2?

AS2 and OFTP2 are both secure protocols used for B2B file exchange, but they differ in their design, typical use cases and technical features.

AS2 is ideal for retailers and distributors that need to be compliant with global trading partners.

OFTP2 is better suited for automotive and manufacturing supply chains, particularly when large file sizes and resumable transfers are needed. However, adoption has spread to other industries due to the robust security and non-repudiation features found in each of these protocols. OFTP2 also supports structured messaging formats such as XML, which can be parsed by ERP systems.
