Enhanced File Transfer Server

GlobalSCAPE's Enhanced File Transfer Server (EFT) is a hardened file/data transfer server that provides secure data transactions over standard Internet protocols. Used together with DMZ Gateway and the EFT Web Transfer Client, Enhanced File Transfer Server provides a highly secure and reliable file management system. EFT Server highlights include:

Data Protection and Encryption

EFT Server protects intellectual property, trade secrets, and customer files transferred over the Internet using secure protocols including FTPS (SSL/TLS), SFTP (SSH2) and HTTP/S.

EFT Server helps meet regulatory and privacy requirements such as HIPAA, GLBA, and SB1386, by including OpenPGP technology for encrypting, decrypting, and signing files stored on disk. EFT Server also includes provisions for off-loading files to another server securely or to a network share.

DMZ Gateway

This optional server is designed to reside in the demilitarized zone and provide secured communications with EFT Server behind intranet firewalls without requiring any inbound firewall holes between the internal network and the DMZ.

EFT Web Transfer Client

This optional client is a browser based file transfer client that allows users to upload and download files to an EFT server using a connected web browser. It gives your users a transparent way to connect, and you don't have to install anything on the client end—the client deploys automatically from EFT Server if you have a license.

Tracking and Auditing

Secure data delivery requires strong audit trails for tracking and non-repudiation. EFT Server provides industry standard logging (W3C, NCSA, Microsoft IIS Extended), E-mail notification of completed transactions, and digital certificates for proof of identity.

Standards Compliance

EFT Server enables secure, reliable file transfers using standard FTP or HTTP clients, including Web browsers or secure FTP clients such as CuteFTP Professional.

Guaranteed Delivery and Data Integrity

EFT Server extends the industry standard FTP and HTTP protocols with enterprise-class reliability features, including post transmission integrity verification, mid-file recovery, and automatic restart.

Programmatic Interface

EFT Server can be controlled through its Windows Administrator Interface, or through its Component Object Model (COM) interface. The COM API is a programmatic interface that lets you control the server from your own custom applications using any COM enabled programming language.

Accelerated Transfers

EFT Server supports Multi-part (segmented) transfers for faster delivery of large files over large geographical distances. Multi-part transfers require the use of compatible clients such as CuteFTP Professional.

Life-Cycle Management

GlobalSCAPE EFT Server lets you quickly and efficiently manage the removal of users, manage temporary accounts, address the revocation and if necessary re-issuance of expired or compromised public-keys or certificates.

Authentication and Authorization

EFT Server supports password, public-key, or one-time-password authentication. User profiles can be managed internally or externally through NTLM, Active Directory (AD) or ODBC data sources.

User and Group Management

Manage system resources including bandwidth, folder access, file types and more using granular or site-wide controls provided for user and group management. Visually manage folder permissions via Explorer-like Virtual File System view. Inherit or override permissions, grant administrative, guest, or anonymous permissions or deny access altogether.
