External File Transfers (Incoming) And Importance of Routing Channels

Abstract

A server may allow external stakeholders to transfer files following a specific set of requirements. These requirements can be made part of the routing channel a host server opens to its clients for file transfers. It may define several critical components, including the proper destination path for the file, encryption type, transfer protocol, and naming convention. MFT systems and business connectivity solutions like IBM Sterling typically have templates for routing channels to make the creation of these channels easier and seamless
