Additional IBM Connect:Direct Products

IBM Connect:Direct FTP+

IBM Connect:Direct FTP+ is a solution that is designed to operate as simply as common FTP. It provides a simple, reliable, and secure way to transfer files between a IBM Connect:Direct server at a central processing center and remote sites. IBM Connect:Direct FTP+ operates like an FTP client. It can initiate send or receive operations with the IBM Connect:Direct server, but the server cannot initiate transfers with IBM Connect:Direct FTP+. The complete FTP command set is supported, whether from a command line or a script. Commands that do not have equivalent IBM Connect:Direct operations are accepted and an appropriate message is generated.

While IBM Connect:Direct FTP+ is as simple to use as common FTP, it provides additional benefits not available in FTP. These include:

• Assured, reliable data delivery. IBM Connect:Direct FTP+ has checkpoint and restart capability. All activity and statistics are logged, so there are verifiable audit trails of all actions.
• Secure data delivery. IBM Connect:Direct FTP+ is compatible with Connect:Direct Secure Plus, so that data can be safely sent in an encrypted format, safe from hackers and data thieves.
• Data integrity checking. IBM Connect:Direct ensures the integrity of the transferred data and verifies that no data is lost during transmission.
• Seamless integration into IBM Connect:Direct environments. Because IBM Connect:Direct FTP+ is an IBM product, it is easily integrated into existing IBM Connect:Direct networks, with minimal changes required to the IBM Connect:Direct server.

You can install IBM Connect:Direct FTP+ on Microsoft Windows, UNIX, or Linux® computers.
