The openFT product range comprises the following products:
FUJITSU Software openFT (Unix systems) is the file transfer product for systems with a Unix based operating system.
FUJITSU Software openFT (Windows) is the file transfer product for Microsoft’s Windows systems.
FUJITSU Software openFT (BS2000) is the file transfer product for computers using the operating system BS2000.
FUJITSU Software openFT (z/OS) is the file transfer product for computers using the operating system z/OS.
All openFT products communicate with each other using the openFT protocol (previously only known as FTNEA) as laid down by Fujitsu. Since a number of FT products from other software vendors also support these protocols, many interconnection options are available.
openFT allows the use of the following transport protocols:
TCP/IP
ISO TP0/2 (not on z/OS)
ISO TP4 (not on z/OS)
SNA (only on z/OS)
The range of functions made available by openFT can be extended by:
FTAC:
FTAC provides extended system and data access protection. FTAC stands for File Transfer Access Control.
On BS2000 systems, FTAC is provided by the add-on product openFT-AC.
On z/OS, FTAC is provided by the add-on product openFT-AC.
On BS2000 systems and on z/OS, FTAC is provided by the add-on product openFT-AC.
On Unix and Windows systems, FTAC is integrated in openFT.openFT-FTAM (not available on z/OS):
openFT supports the FTAM file transfer protocol (File Transfer Access and Management) standardized by ISO (International Organization for Standardization). This makes it possible to interconnect with even more systems from other vendors whose file transfer products support the same standard.
openFT-FTP:
openFT also supports the FTP functionality. This makes it possible to interconnect with other FTP servers.
openFT-CR:
openFT-CR is required up to version V12.1B if encrypted file transfer is requested.Attention
As of openFT version V12.1C, openFT-CR is no longer delivered because the functionality has been integrated in openFT V12.1C.
All references to openFT-CR therefore only apply to openFT versions <= V12.1B.
