Overview

Sterling File Gateway is an application for transferring files between partners by using different protocols, conventions for naming files, and file formats.

Sterling File Gateway uses the Sterling B2B foundation, which includes IBM® Sterling B2B Integrator, Sterling Standards, and the Sterling platform. The capabilities that are delivered are similar to the features found in Advanced File Transfer and IBM Sterling Connect:Enterprise® for UNIX, plus new functionality.

Use Sterling File Gateway for movement of large and high-volume file transfers, with end-to-end visibility of file movement in a process-oriented and highly-scalable framework. This framework alleviates file transfer challenges, such as protocol and file brokering, automation, and data security.

  • Sterling B2B Integrator Mailbox
  • IBM Sterling Control Center
  • IBM Sterling Secure Proxy
  • IBM Sterling Connect:Direct® for UNIX server products
  • IBM Sterling Connect:Direct
  • IBM WebSphere® MQ File Transfer Edition
