Technical Notes

FileXpress Internet Server supports the latest encryption and authentication technologies. This high level of security eliminates the risks associated with Internet file delivery and helps you comply with mandates driven by Sarbanes-Oxley, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, Gramm-Leach-Bliley, and FIPS 140-2.

Supports all standard protocols including HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS (SSL), SFTP (SSH), AS2, TCP/IP, SNA, Platform Server

Strong proxy capabilities ensure that incoming data is delivered directly to or from your backend system and never stored in the DMZ. Supported backend systems include SSH servers, FTP servers, servers supporting FTPS (SSL), and FileXpress Platform Servers.

FileXpress Internet Server makes it easy to add trading partners and enable them to exchange files with your organization. For example, you can define users and groups for each partner. You can delegate user account control so partners can maintain their own profile information and administer their own user accounts. And you can provide an intuitive browser-based interface—complete with a historical view—for all file transfers.

File transfers happen around the clock, frequently at high volumes, and usually between parties that are geographically dispersed. FileXpress Internet Server logs each transfer-related event and produces detailed reports for each transfer element—with information arranged in a logical, readable format. Real-time alerts instantaneously notify personnel when problems occur, and, if specified, when transfers are complete. In addition to guiding corporate decisions, this detailed documentation can facilitate regulatory compliance.

FileXpress Internet Server’s delegated administration capabilities ensure that system administrators are given the appropriate level of control—based on organizational role and security status. For example, system administrators can be assigned the task of defining target servers and configuring new file transfers, while helpdesk staff can manage user account functions, such as password resets.

FileXpress Internet Server can transfer very large files at the highest volumes. Thanks to a checkpoint restart capability, FileXpress Internet Server gracefully recovers from an interrupted file transfers—picking up the transfer where it left off and continuing until the transfer is complete.
