In previous posts, we taught you how to set up an Agent service and trading partner. We also taught you how to install an agent on a remote Windows host devoid of any file transfer service. Let's now put that agent to work. In this post, we're going to teach you how to configure JSCAPE MFT Server so that that remote Windows host can synchronize files with an Amazon S3 bucket.

Files you upload to an Amazon S3 trading partner through JSCAPE MFT Server are normally stored in plaintext. If you want to encrypt those files to minimize the risk of a data breach, one way to do that is by using the AWS Key Management Service or AWS KMS. We'll show you how to use this particular service in this post.

Time to continue our tutorial on using JSCAPE MFT Server Agents. If you've been following our recent blog posts, you know that agents offer an easy way of exchanging files with hosts that don't have any file transfer service. We already taught you how to set up an Agent service and trading partner. So, this time, we're going to teach you how to install an agent on a remote host and then have that agent connect to our Agent service.

As discussed in our previous post, JSCAPE MFT Server now gives you the capability to perform automated data transfers with hosts with no file transfer service. If you read that post, you know this can be done through what we call JSCAPE MFT Server Agents. We then promised to launch a series of posts teaching you how to use this new feature. We'll start fulfilling that promise now by teaching you how to set up an Agent Service and an Agent Trading Partner.

As an IT administrator, you probably encountered this problem before — there's this host that you want to transfer files with on an automated basis but it doesn't have any file transfer service. The problem gets even more complicated if that host is owned by a trading partner and that partner has no one capable of setting up a file transfer service on it.

In a previous post, we taught you how to mirror an FTP/S service running on JSCAPE MFT Server to an Amazon S3 bucket folder. You can set up a similar process using any remote FTP/S service even if that service isn't running on a JSCAPE MFT Server instance. We'll show you how to do that in this post.

Overview: What is the AS2 file transfer protocol? AS2 (Applicability Statement 2) is a file transfer protocol that enables organizations to conduct fully automated,server-to-server file transfers. You can use it to exchange business documents with one or more parties in a paper-free manner. AS2 can be used for exchanging digitized purchase orders, invoices, healthcare claims and other types of business documents. By exchanging these files through AS2, you can ensure message integrity, confidentiality and reliability. AS2 is based on the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and incorporates Secure/Multipurpose Internet Email Extensions (S/MIME) for business-grade messaging. AS2’s built-in electronic receipt functionality, known as Message Disposition Notification (MDN), is a function of S/MIME. Since firewalls are normally configured to allow HTTP and HTTPS (HTTP secure) connections, you won’t have to apply any configuration changes to your firewall for AS2 to work. The AS2 protocol can transfer almost any type of file over the Internet. However, it’s more closely associated with EDI messages. To get a good grasp of AS2, you need to understand what Electronic Data Interchange is first.

When you request an electronic receipt a.k.a. Message Disposition Notification or MDN for your AS2 transmission from your trading partner, you can choose between two options: Sync MDN or Async MDN. In this post we'll show you how to use the latter.
