SecureFTP Modernization Guide

SecureFTP provides secure file transfer capabilities for zVSE/VSEn environments using TCP/IP. It supports both TLS and SSL protocols for encryption.

SecureFTP uses configuration files to manage settings such as port numbers, encryption levels, and user access controls. These files are typically located in the system's configuration directory.

SecureFTP supports standard FTP commands such as GET for downloading files, PUT for uploading files, and DELETE for removing files. It also includes secure versions of these commands that utilize TLS/SSL encryption.

SecureFTP enhances security by implementing TLS and SSL protocols, which encrypt data during transfer. It also supports various authentication methods to verify user identities.

SecureFTP supports standard FTP commands such as GET, PUT, DELETE, and LIST. For example, to download a file, the command would be 'GET filename'. To upload, it would be 'PUT filename'.

SecureFTP does not expose a REST or SOAP API. Integration is typically achieved through scripting and command-line operations, leveraging the standard FTP protocol.

SecureFTP uses configuration files to define parameters such as port numbers, TLS/SSL settings, and user permissions. These files are typically edited directly by the system administrator.

SecureFTP primarily communicates using the FTP protocol over TCP/IP. Secure communication is achieved through TLS/SSL encryption.

SecureFTP enables secure and reliable file transfer, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality. This reduces the risk of data breaches and compliance violations.

By providing secure file transfer capabilities, SecureFTP helps organizations comply with data protection regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA.

SecureFTP reduces the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive data by encrypting data during transfer and providing robust authentication mechanisms.

SecureFTP supports authentication methods such as username/password, and potentially integration with external authentication systems via standard protocols.

SecureFTP uses an access control model based on user permissions and file system permissions. Access to files and directories is controlled by assigning appropriate permissions to users.

SecureFTP uses TLS and SSL protocols to encrypt data during transfer. The specific encryption algorithms used depend on the configuration settings and the capabilities of the client and server.

SecureFTP provides audit logging capabilities that track user activity, file transfers, and system events. These logs can be used to monitor security and troubleshoot issues.

SecureFTP provides a command-line interface (CLI) for administrative tasks. User management is typically handled through system-level user accounts and permissions.

Key configuration parameters include port numbers, TLS/SSL settings, user permissions, and logging options. These parameters are typically defined in configuration files.

SecureFTP provides logging capabilities that track user activity, file transfers, and system events. These logs can be used for monitoring and troubleshooting.
