* Product News - SSH Announces Future Plans for Enhanced File Transfer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On March 14, SSH announced the company's future plans for enhanced file transfer (EFT). The new plans are a direct result from close customer interaction and feedback, and they reflect the market's need for more standards-based, flexible, and light-weight solutions to secure and manage enterprise file transfers.
Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), based on the IETF standard Secure Shell technology, is a secure replacement for FTP providing confidentiality, integrity, and authentication for both interactive and unattended file transfers. SSH Tectia with its SFTP functionality is used by Fortune 500 companies around the world, to secure file transfers in multi-platform enterprise environments consisting of Windows, Unix, Linux, and IBM mainframe systems.
The new plans introduce enhanced file transfer management features such as automatic guaranteed delivery, scheduled file transfers, more granular file transfer access management, and advanced auditing to enable automation of file transfers in large enterprise environments. As a first milestone, SSH will release in April the new FTP-SFTP conversion functionality that allows enterprises to secure scripted FTP transfers without the need to modify existing scripts. The new FTP-SFTP conversion will considerably reduce the cost and deployment time of secure file transfer projects, helping organizations to meet the demanding compliance and auditor schedules.

* Tips & Tricks: Using Temporary Prefix in File Transfers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In SSH Tectia Client/Server 5.0, it is possible to use temporary prefix when transferring files from SSH Tectia Client host to SSH Tectia Server (F) or SSH Tectia Server (T) host. Prefix is useful for example in setups where the destination directory is polled for specific files and it must be ensured that processing of the file does not begin until it has been completely transferred.
For more information, please see our Knowledge Base article ID 25523, "How to use temporary prefix for filename and calculate digests in file transfer".
