Remote-to-remote File Transfer integration

The new remote-to-remote capability within the File Transfer integration drastically simplifies how your enterprise moves critical data.

This new capability enables the secure, high-efficiency transfer of one or more files directly between two remote server endpoints. In the past, moving files between two external systems (Peer A and Peer B) often required a dynamic agent to be installed on at least one of those systems, or involved complex multi-step intermediary transfers. Now, a single job running on any designated agent can orchestrate the transfer between Peer A and Peer B, dramatically reducing complexity and removing the need for local agents on the source or destination machines.

You can now securely manage external data flow with maximum resource efficiency and significant architectural simplification. All transfer actions are run securely using the robust protocols already available and supported by the File Transfer integration: FTP, FTPS, FTPES, SFTP (previously referred to as SSH), and Windows protocols.

Advanced Features and Usability

The remote-to-remote capability fully supports the advanced functionalities already present in the File Transfer integration, ensuring complete control and reliability:
  • Unified Security: All file transfers leverage the security and encryption capabilities of the underlying File Transfer protocols.
  • Backward Compatibility: All existing File Transfer functionalities and job definitions are fully maintained and supported, guaranteeing a smooth transition.
  • Intelligent Workflow Details and Restart: Retains the powerful ability to view the status of every single transfer and restart the transfer of individual files or groups of files without needing to restart the entire job stream from the beginning, ensuring maximum recovery and integrity.
  • Simplified File Selection: Despite the systems being remote to the HWA network, the integration provides enhanced usability: you can easily browse and visualize the file system of both the source and destination remote servers directly within the job definition interface, enabling for rapid and effective file selection.

Transfer smarter with the new capability of the File Transfer integration.
