Overview: What is WebDAV? Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning, or WebDAV, is a protocol whose basic functionality enables users to share, copy, move, and edit files through a web server. It can also support collaborative applications with file locking and revision tracking features. This blog post will introduce you to the basic functions of WebDAV, its similarities and differences with FTP and other file transfer protocols, and a few examples showing what you can do with it.

The problem with using a single SFTP server Organizations in different industries like finance, healthcare and retail rely on an SFTP server to transfer files internally and externally. However, using a single SFTP server can result in a failed data transfer workflow, especially if you don’t have a backup plan to correct it. If your organization’s SFTP server experiences hardware issues, glitches, network outages or a security breach, in-progress data transfers may be interrupted, and your data’s integrity could also be compromised. This system issue won’t only lead to communication and security concerns, but it could also cause substantial business disruption because of unexpected and unnecessary downtime. Downtime translates to financial losses, operational delays and reputational damage.

Overview Whenever we download files from an external server on a regular basis, we often like to rename each file so that they follow a certain format. This would make it easier for us to group, sort or manage them whenever the need arises. One common practice is to append a timestamp at the end of the filename. This article will teach you how to automate the entire process using JSCAPE MFT Server Triggers.

Most customers who use SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) for file transfer automation prefer to authenticate SFTP clients through SFTP keys instead of passwords. Given the numerous inquiries on how to set up and use SFTP public key authentication, we decided to publish how-to articles to help organizations that wish to implement this authentication method in their SFTP environment. This article will focus on setting up instructions for the command line.

Overview A large share of all data security breach incidents involve non-malicious company insiders. In fact, Ponemon's "2013 Cost of Data Breach Study: Global Analysis" revealed that an astounding 35% of data security breaches in 2012 were simply caused by negligent employees or contractors. In a file transfer server, where multiple users can share a single folder, such incidents can easily happen.
