When you are transferring data within your enterprise, you can define the transfer methods that suit you. But when you bring a third party into the process, you need a file transfer solution that offers complete flexibility. For example, if your potential partner insists on using AS2, you need to be prepared to invest in the technology required to support it.
FileXpress Solution: Meet Client and Server Demands Simultaneously
A FileXpress customer transfers data internally between departments over FTPS, maintaining a consistent approach to security enterprise wide. In one partnership, however, this customer was required to accept incoming data over AS2.
Securely streaming files through the DMZ, FileXpress was able to automatically translate between these two transfer protocols. This allowed the trading partner to send data over AS2, while the business accepted it and continued its transit over FTPS. FileXpress currently supports a wide range of open protocols including:
- FTP
- FTP with PGP
- SFTP
- FTPS
- HTTPS
- AS2
In addition to open protocol translation, FileXpress also supports proprietary protocols designed for error recovery, alerts, and post-processing. With the ability to translate seamlessly between open secure protocols, FileXpress gives your enterprise more flexibility to enjoy new file sharing relationships.
Ensure business agility by supporting multiple protocols across your file sharing relationships. Learn more about Attachmate FileXpress.
