Security in FT operation

A higher level of security in file transfer is offered by the following functions:

• Authentication

• Extended authentication check

• Encryption on data transfer

Note

• In addition, an integrity check can be required in the transfer request (ft/ncopy -di) if encryption is not used.

• openFT is able to exchange encrypted outbound file contents with a Secure FTP server if openFT-CR is installed on the openFT side and the FTP server supports the TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocol. The Secure FTP server makes its key and the certificate available to the openFT instance for encryption purposes. No mutual authentication is carried out.
