Alternative to Secure Shell (SSH),  Secure FTP (SFTP) for enterprise enhanced file transfer.

CFI Platform Server provides extensive features offering enhanced alternatives to ssh (secure shell), sftp (secure ftp), ftps (ftp over SSL) and offers additional options for a VPN.

Open SSH & SFTP are geared more to application specific, secured access - not suited to the enterprise which must regularly transfer data. The cost of scripting SSH/FTP to meet enterprise needs is often a significant overhead and requires procedures and change control to endeavour to keep track of changes and updates.   

• They are not meant for automated file transfer
• have little automation capabilities (scheduling, etc).
• They do not scale
• tend to be application specific
• developers don’t provide commercial support
• have a lack of management features,
• no checkpoint restart,
• no scheduling
• cannot handle bulk transfers.
• Audit is usually insufficient

These features are offered as standard with CyberFusion and also offer attractive options for a VPN.  

CFI offers many other features including Directory Transfers and Wildcard Support
CFI users are able to send and receive entire directories and subdirectories, and use wildcards for ease of file selection.  Users may “TEST” their selection before transferring by viewing a print out of all local and remote file names to be transferred in a directory.  If Checkpoint restart is selected and a transfer fails, CFI will restart transfer at the interrupted file, not the entire directory.  Transferring entire directories will not affect normal CFI performance, as files transfer sequentially.

CFI Wildcard support {symbols *,?} allows users to conduct searches for files on Windows, UNIX or OS/390 systems.  Users can try any combination and amount of symbols and alpha numeric characters to narrow down their search for files.  This feature eliminates the need for users to know exact file names.  Wildcarding makes it easy to filter through directories and choose files for transfer.
