Transfer Sites

Use Transfer Sites to configure secure file exchange with business partners and employees working outside your corporate network. User authentication is required for all transfers and end-to-end encryption protects all transferred data.

Transfer Site Features

  • SFTP Transfer Clients

    Reflection Gateway users can use the Reflection for Secure IT Secure Shell client, the Reflection FTP Client configured for SFTP transfer, or any other SFTP-enabled SSH client.

  • End-to-end encryption

    All transfers are securely encrypted. In addition, when you set up a back-end Transfer Site file server, encrypted data streams continuously through the Reflection Gateway Proxy, eliminating the need to save files on the proxy. This is more secure and more efficient than file transfer solutions that require the file to be stored and then forwarded.

  • Configurable Transfer Site access

    Transfer site managers can provide access rights to users or groups and control how long sites remain active. Permissions settings are available to specify who can upload and/or download files and who receives email notifications.

  • Self-registration by email

    New external users can be notified via email with links provided for password creation. Customizable email templates are available for account creation, password reset, Transfer Site access notifications, and file upload and download notifications.

  • Manage files after a transfer

    You can use either Post Transfer Actions or Jobs to trigger automated processes after files are uploaded to your server. See Comparing Jobs and Transfer Sites.

  • File Transfer auditing

    Use audit logging to maintain a complete record of all file transfer activity.
