PROTECT BUSINESS DATA WITH SAFE FILE SHARING SOFTWARE




PROTECT BUSINESS DATA WITH SAFE FILE SHARING SOFTWARE

File sharing is an essential part of any business. Files are constantly
traveling between users and devices and can contain sensitive information.
Secure FTP file transfers can help make it easier to get files to the people who
need them without opening yourself up to potential risks.

SolarWinds ® Serv-U ® Managed File Transfer Server (Serv-U MFT) comes with
built-in security features designed to make secure file sharing for business
easier. With Serv-U MFT, you can set files to be password protected,
automatically expire, and be deleted after a configurable period. The storage
solution also offers automatic IP lockouts to prevent brute-force attacks. You
can even use FIPS 140-2 validated cryptography as needed for added security.

MAINTAIN SECURITY WHILE USING THE MOST COMMON FILE SHARING PROTOCOLS




MAINTAIN SECURITY WHILE USING THE MOST COMMON FILE SHARING PROTOCOLS

With Serv-U MFT, you can use the software you already have—and your employees
are used to using—to help securely transfer files. The SolarWinds solution
supports the five most common file transfer protocols: FTP , FTPS , SFTP , HTTP,
and HTTPS. Clients for each protocol can connect to Serv-U without needing to
install any additional software. For example, for FTP, any FTP clients,
including FTP Voyager ® , FTP scripts, tablets, desktops, servers, and smart
phones, can connect to Serv-U safely without needing to install any extra
software. The Serv-U client then lets you download, edit, and upload files from
any desktop web browser.

Secure file sharing lets users send files to and request files from anyone. When
deployed in your data center, Serv-U Managed File Transfer Server provides this
popular “ad hoc” file transfer service to your end users on your existing
infrastructure, and under the control of your existing security policy. Safe
file sharing is now easier with a host of advanced features like ability to
share files that are already on the server and ability to control server-wide
settings.

MAKE SAFE FILE SHARING EASY FOR ANYONE NO MATTER THEIR LEVEL OF EXPERIENCE

The SolarWinds Serv-U MFT solution doesn’t require the installation of any
additional software and makes it easy for anyone to use no matter their level of
experience with secure file sharing software.

Serv-U MFT includes features built to make it easier to share files, such as:

 * Links to identify how to start sending or requesting files
 * Similar sending and requesting interfaces, meaning users only need to learn
   to use one interface instead of two
 * Optional file messages, expirations, and passwords, so you don’t need to jump
   through extra hoops for files that don’t require extra security measures
 * A progress bar during file uploads
 * Customizable email notifications that can clearly explain what to do next
 * Automated file management support to delete files after a set time interval

Sometimes you need to view or share a file from a device that isn’t your work
computer. Whether it’s a smart phone, a tablet, or even an e-reader, SolarWinds
Serv-U MFT has you covered. You can use the solution on desktops and servers as
usual, but the Serv-U mobile interface lets you go even farther. You can view
documents from popular devices including Apple and Android mobile devices  in
addition to e-readers like the Kindle Fire. The Serv-U management console is
also accessible from any web browser or tablet.

Serv-U MFT Server is designed to go one step further when it comes to
accessibility and ease-of-use with different user management options, such as
the ability to integrate with Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP servers to
more easily sync your AD database with Serv-U MFT Server. This integration can
allow you to quickly add users, and users can also log in to Serv-U with their
AD domain credentials when Windows authentication is enabled in Serv-U settings.

 * What is secure file sharing?
   
   
   
   
   Secure file sharing lets users send files to and request files from anyone
   and helps protect the sensitive information potentially contained within
   those files. Secure file sharing usually involves a managed file transfer
   (MFT) solution that uses various security protocols, like two-factor
   authentication, automated deletion, and encryption, to help ensure sensitive
   data is transferred safely. Some of the best secure file sharing solutions
   can let you continue using “ad hoc” file transfer approach while helping
   eliminate potential security vulnerabilities.
   
   
 * What file sharing software features can help with security?
   
   
   
   
   
   
   When it comes to choosing the right file sharing software for your
   organization, security and retention features can help ensure safer file
   transfers. If you’re looking for a solution with important security features
   for file sharing included, look for a tool that can offer:
   
   * The ability to automatically expire and delete files after a configurable
     period
   * Optional passwords to protect individual sets of shared or requested files
     (and the ability to avoid passwords for files that don’t include sensitive
     information and don’t need an added layer of security)
   * Automatic IP lockouts to help prevent brute-force attacks
   * HTTPS sessions that use the SSL certificate (X.509) of your choice
   * Support for multiple ( SSH /SFTP) keys per user
   * FIPS 140-2 validated cryptography, if you need it
   * Various encryption options for transferring files
   * Individual ciphers and MACs you can enable or disable based on the specific
     security requirements of each file
     
     
   
   While these security features are helpful, it’s also important to choose a
   solution that can make it easier for users to securely transfer files, so no
   one is tempted to sacrifice security for the sake of easier file sharing.
   
   
   
   
 * Cloud-based storage vs. FTP server storage
   
   
   
   
   
   
   When it comes to file sharing, people often debate the relative merits of
   cloud storage services vs. FTP server storage space. While there are some
   differences in how the two options approach storage and file transfer, they
   largely perform the same functions.
   
   FTP server storage : FTP is a standard network protocol used to transfer
   files from one host to another using the internet. It can handle large media
   files that may be too large for browsers. To access FTP files, you need to
   have an FTP client in place. Like cloud-based storage, some FTP server
   storage solutions can also support anywhere, anytime file transfers using web
   and mobile interfaces.
   
   Cloud-based storage: When it comes to file sharing, cloud-based storage means
   storing files in a virtual space that can be accessed by users from anywhere.
   Common tools include Dropbox, OneDrive, or Google Drive. Often used in an
   ad-hoc manner, these solutions don’t tend to meet compliance standards for
   security.
   
   Overall, using a file transfer tool with built-in FTP storage can potentially
   help better ensure security and functionality, since the IT software is
   designed for file sharing rather than sharing access to a cloud-based storage
   solution.

   users to the IT admins who need to deploy and maintain compliance. Serv-U
   offers links to help explain how to start sending or requesting files and
   customizable email notifications to explain what to do next in the file
   transfer process. Serv-U also supports anonymous shares, with the ability to
   have file sharing “guests” automatically provisioned by email address.
   
   Serv-U MFT helps make files easier to manage, with automated file management
   to move or delete files after a specified time interval, as well as the
   ability to free-form search file shares on the server. End users also get
   access to recent share history, can request personal password reminders, and
   change their own passwords. To support auditing and monitoring, Serv-U can
   display sessions in real time, with options to kick or drill into active
   sessions. Additionally, all file transfer activity can be written to disk for
   additional analysis. Using the Serv-U events functionality, you can also
   configure Windows event logging and email alerts.
