SSH Tectia ConnectSecure has the following main features and benefits. For a detailed list of new features and enhancements in the latest versions, please read the release notes.
Main Features & Benefits
| Transparent FTP-SFTP conversion | The FTP-SFTP Conversion module allows easy and cost-effective replacement of plaintext file transfers in large enterprise environments. Existing FTP connections including automated file transfers are transparently converted to SFTP without the need to modify existing scripts and applications. |
| Transparent FTP Tunneling | The Transparent FTP Tunneling module allows easy and cost-effective tunneling of any FTP file transfer connection. The advanced implementation is self-configuring and does not require the users to define endpoints for the file transfers allowing for a fast and easy implementation. |
| Transparent TCP Tunneling | SSH Tectia ConnectSecure provides Transparent TCP Tunneling which allows users to secure data-in-transit without modifications to applications or infrastructure. This product eliminates the main barrier for wider adoption of Secure Shell tunneling, as there is no need to reconfigure application’s network settings with localhost addresses. When the connection is initiated by the application SSH Tectia ConnectSecure transparently captures the connection and establishes a secure tunnel according to predefined policy rules. This feature is currently available on Windows only. |
| SFTP APIs
| A complete client-side SFTP API (application programming interface) for Java and C enables seamless integration of secure file transfer capability to applications and third-party file transfer management systems. |
| CryptiCore® encryption and authentication | The SSH G3 architecture together with the high-speed CryptiCore® algorithms (Intel platforms) helps in meeting critical deadlines and reducing hardware overhead requirements. SSH Tectia ConnectSecure enables up to 400Mb/s secure file transfer throughput in 1Gb networks. |
| Checkpoint/restart mechanism | The checkpoint/restart mechanism provides fault tolerance for large file transfers without performance penalties for increased user productivity, improved transfer reliability, and easier file transfer management. |
| File prefixing | File prefixing prevents unintentional file usage at the destination before the file transfer is complete. It enables optimized 3rd-party job scheduling and event-based triggering of file resending from destination directories. |
| Extended MVS streaming | Extended streaming for direct, one-step processing of MVS data set transfers provides optimized throughput, and on-the-fly file format and code set conversions between distributed hosts and IBM z/OS systems. |
