Diplomat Basic Edition provides turn-key automation of business-to-business secure file transfers. Basic Edition is a standalone encryption and file transfer application designed for users that need easy automation of a limited number of transactions. Basic Edition is also easy to roll out when you need to automate remote sites, such as branch offices, retail stores, sales offices, or distribution sites.

Built-in Scheduling

You can set up file transfers to run by minutes or hours, daily, or monthly. In addition to scheduled file transfers, you can execute a file transfer manually at any time using the 'Run Now' feature. 

File Transfer Set-up

With Diplomat Basic Edition's intuitive user interface, you can customize file transfer parameters, such as whether to delete source files after the transfer, whether to overwrite existing files, or the name or location of the destination file.

Secure File Transfer

Basic Edition manages file transfers between any combination of local network, FTP, FTPS(SSH), and SFTP(SSL) servers. Secure FTP ensures your login data is protected in transit.  And, you can pre-test secure FTP connections and account information – without executing an actual file transfer.

OpenPGP Data Encryption

Fully-integrated OpenPGP capabilities ensure end-to-end data security. Encrypting and signing files before they leave the protection of your firewall assures your trading partners that files they receive were sent by you and have not been tampered with in transit. Files from trading partners that you must decrypt and verify on receipt provides you the same protection. 

Optional Encryption using OpenPGP Command Line Console

Diplomat offers a richly-featured management console for the leading OpenPGP command line products: Authora EDGE, McAfee E-Business Server, PGP Command Line Server, and Veridis FileCrypt.  OpenPGP command line users can continue to use their command line tool for file encryption, while taking advantage of Diplomat’s extensive job scheduling and automation, secure file transfer, workflow management, job monitoring, and other business-critical features. 

Security

Diplomat requires a login to access file transfer set-up data.  And, all pass-phrases, passwords, and other sensitive data that you enter during file transfer set-up are encrypted by Diplomat before being stored in a central transaction database. Diplomat only decrypts this data at run-time, so no sensitive data is ever written to disk in plaintext.

Diplomat makes it easy to know when file transfer set-up data has been changed. Each screen in Diplomat displays a timestamp, user ID, and user IP address that reflects the last time any data on the screen was modified.

In-process Error Correction

When a transient file transfer error occurs, Diplomat Basic Edition attempts to recover and complete the transfer without restarting the file transfer job. If a network glitch causes your FTP server to be momentarily unavailable, Diplomat automatically reattempts a connection after a few seconds.

Recovery

After set up your file transfers, you can create a backup copy of Diplomat's central transaction database. If your Diplomat database is every lost or corrupted, you can quickly restore it from the backup copy in one simple step.

Troubleshooting

Diplomat Basic Edition logs all file transfer set-up and run-time events to a log file. When an error occurs during a file transfer, the built-in log file viewer makes it easy to locate and diagnose the problem. Basic Edition also keeps archive copies of files, in case a file needs to be resent.  Plus, Basic Edition creates new log files, deletes old log files, and deletes archive copies of files without user intervention.

Remote Site Automation

If you need to send files containing sensitive data between a central, corporate hub and multiple remote sites (such as branch offices, retail stores, sales offices, or distribution sites), Basic Edition is easy for you to deploy and easy for remote users to maintain – making it an excellent choice for rollout to remote sites.  Click here for more information on Automating Remote Sites with Diplomat Basic Edition.
