VitalSigns for FTP
VitalSigns for FTP provides security, auditing, and batch control for z/OS FTP servers and clients. With Tectia partners, VFTP automatically converts FTP to SFTP. One database records all FTP traffic and many kinds of SFTP traffic.
VFTP secures individual FTP commands and users and automates FTP in batch jobs.
VFTP Provides...
- Easy, Complete Security for FTP Servers and Clients
- VFTP integrates with RACF, ACF2, and TopSecret, and with SSL FTP.
- VFTP can secure individual FTP commands: allow read access to a dataset while preventing its off-site transfer, for example.
- VFTP can automatically enforce limits on the size of data transfers.
- VFTP can automatically direct FTP traffic through SSH tunnels and SFTP proxies.
- VFTP collaborates with IBM Ported Tools, Tectia, and Co:Z.
Monitoring, Auditing
Because customers, regulators, and partners hold organizations accountable for data loss...
And because government regulations mandate audit trails...
VFTP provides a comprehensive audit trail for all FTP transfers and sessions, and for many kinds of SFTP traffic.
FTP users can get details for a given system, FTP session, file transfer, or user ID.
VFTP provides historical FTP records as SMF data.
FTP Automation: Script FTP in Batch Jobs
VFTP's FTP Control Language (FCL) can conditionally execute FTP commands--depending on success of the previous command, or on the server reply, or on the client condition code.
Batch jobs can retry a failed transfer, wait before proceeding to the next command, act on some failures and ignore others, log messages to the system console, and notify the right people when automatic recovery fails.
