Standard and Enterprise Edition provide scheduling and configurable retention capabilities. Enterprise Edition provides options for promoting processes from Dev to Test to Production by picking and choosing individual configuration items.

Centralize and consolidate your secure file transfer landscape by leveraging Diplomat’s SFTP Server capabilities with unlimited SFTP users.

Give the highest priority to your most mission-critical jobs to complete first over less time-sensitive operations.

Suspend individual transactions, groups of transactions, or all transactions to ease management of complex systems and accommodate maintenance windows.

Full system administrator, manager, and read-only roles. Manage administrative user privileges, password policies, and session time-out configuration.

Run any custom processes, scripts, and utilities before or after a transfer, including built-in zip and unzip capabilities and running other jobs within Diplomat MFT.

Take archive copies of all files that pass through Diplomat MFT. With Standard and Enterprise Edition you decide where your Primary Archive storage should be, how the archive copies should be handled, how long they should be retained, and even specify job-specific archive settings instead of or in addition to the primary archive.

Enhance auditing and streamline management by saving connectivity details with PGP key settings for each internal and external endpoint.

Define file masks and decide whether to consider zero-byte files valid. Choose whether to fail if files aren’t found, and how many times to retry before counting it as a failure. Clean up the source by deleting files after successful transfer.

Send debug emails to IT personnel, informational results to business users, and send notifications to Slack or Microsoft Teams by simply checking a box. Be notified in advance when keys are expiring soon, and be alerted when the service restarts to avoid unexpected downtime.

Maximize security with the most advanced approach to seamlessly provide internet-facing file transfer services to external clients. The Edge Gateway in the DMZ keeps Diplomat MFT safely protected in the internal network and eliminates all inbound firewall holes and NAT forwarding to internal systems while also eliminating exposure of user credentials and avoiding storing transferred files–even temporarily–in the DMZ. Increase your high availability with advanced routing of incoming connections among multiple Diplomat MFT Enterprise Edition instances, if so licensed and configured.

Use Diplomat MFT to encrypt, decrypt, sign, verify, ASCII-armor, compress, or canonicalize files.

*Advanced features such as encrypting with multiple keys not available in Basic Edition

Diplomat MFT can keep watch on your local or network storage to react to new files showing up rather than waiting for a blind schedule.

Maxmize performance with native 64-bit service with multi-threaded implementation.

Compatible with all major browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, and more.

The foundation of Diplomat MFT is the orchestration of automated file encryption and secure transfer processes from anywhere to anywhere, no matter how large, with all the capabilities and nuances required for that mission. Whether you need to push files out, pull them in, move them between internal systems, or even between different cloud storage providers, Diplomat MFT is your best option.

Transfer files securely to and from branch offices, other datacenters, and even third parties with built-in PGP authentication, streaming encryption, checkpoint restart, checksum file integrity checking, bandwidth utilization control, custom chunking, and more.

The whole team can administer Diplomat at the same time in Enterprise Edition.

Let other application servers, job management systems, and even business users tell Diplomat MFT when it’s time to run a particular process. Use a basic command line CLI approach, a simple GUI, or a REST API. The REST API adds numerous other capabilities such as just-in-time ad-hoc transfers with definable details, job status monitoring, log requests, and much more.

Create, import, and export keys for PGP, SFTP jobs and SFTP clients, and SSL certificates for FTPS, HTTPS, and AS2. Basic Edition allows for 2 key ring slots per type, while Standard Edition starts at 2 and allows expansion, and Enterprise Edition provides an unlimited key ring.
