File Transfer Protocol (FTP) has long been a staple for businesses needing to exchange data between systems, partners, and vendors. Traditional FTP-based processes come with a host of challenges, including security vulnerabilities, manual configurations, and high maintenance overhead. Setting up firewalls or load balancers is always a challenge, as the modern network services are not designed to handle the complexity created by the FTP data connections.
The security of FTP is improved by using FTP over SSL/TLS (FTPS). FTPS secure transfers of internal and external files using the Transport Layer Security (TLS)
How SFTPPlus acts as a no-code solution to simplify FTP and FTPS transfers
SFTPPlus no-code MFT software offers a powerful solution to streamline and secure file transfers without requiring extensive IT involvement.
Here's how it can transform traditional FTP-based processes:
Enhanced Security and Compliance FTP and event FTPS security methods provide a lower-level of security as they always have to cater for backward compatibility. With SFTPPlus you can enforce strict FTPS security rules, such as TLS session reuse or migrate your transfer to more secure protocols like SFTP or HTTPS. Additionally, with an excellent audit systems, SFTPPlus can help your organizations comply with industry regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS by automating access controls and audit logs.
No-Code Automation Reduces IT Burden Traditional FTP requires manual intervention for scheduling, monitoring, and troubleshooting file transfers. SFTPPlus allows administrators to create automated workflows using a simple configuration rules and GUI, eliminating the need for scripting or coding. This reduces errors, improves efficiency, and frees up IT resources for more strategic tasks.
Improved Visibility and Monitoring Legacy FTP servers offers minimal visibility into transfer statuses and failures, with poorly designed log messages. This makes it harder to troubleshoot the file transfers. With SFTPPlus you get detailed logs, directly in your web browser or may be sent to database or integrated processes. You can also setup real-time alerts over email or your team chat channel. This prevents delays and ensures critical data reaches its destination on time.
Seamless Integration with Cloud and Enterprise Systems FTP was designed for simple file exchanges, but today's organizations need to transfer data across cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Drive), ERP systems, and SaaS applications. The no-code MFT platform provided by SFTPPlus offers pre-built integrations and APIs, enabling seamless connections between legacy systems and modern applications.
