Managed File Transfer

Managed File Transfer (MFT) is a technology that provides a secure and controlled way to transfer files between systems, both internally within an organization and externally with partners or customers.

It includes features such as encryption, monitoring, auditing, and automation to ensure reliable and secure file transfers.

The SMB Protocol Challenge

Integrating an SMB3 connector plugin into a Managed File Transfer solution to fulfill end-to-end encryption is a must-have requirement in certain environments. However many software engineers know that the Server Message Block (SMB) is a complex protocol.

Looking around for SMB3 Java libraries, favoring those recommended by Microsoft, the list of candidates is left with little choice – if at all. When time is a factor and you need to expedite the process or minimize the risk of delays in the implementation, a number of inquiries in professional forums like Stack Overflow and Reddit will probably lead you to exclude dependency on Open Source, which is a suitable alternative if you don’t have rigid SLA constraints.

Why Visuality Systems

The jNQ library offered by Visuality Systems is encoded in pure Java and does not have external dependencies, which means that it’s self-sufficient and self-contained. Once you try it to ascertain that it serves your purposes, you will stop searching for alternatives.

jNQ’s benefits include:

  • Simplicity – the library is clear, well documented and straightforward.
  • Quality – stable, secure and always updated.
  • Support – consistently timely and prompt.
  • Flexibility – adaptable, to fulfill customer needs.
 
JNQ

By using jNQ you can enrich your own MFT with a shallow learning curve and limited knowledge, without the need to dig too much into Microsoft SMB protocol particularities and always backed by Visuality Systems. Once it’s installed, jNQ runs reliably silently and in the background, as you would expect from a driver.

 
Visuality Systems’ jNQ guarantees end-to-end data security and integrity via SMB3, regardless of the applications, systems, or platforms your users have in place. It’s clean, operational, and usable. Your solutions are up to date with the SMB protocol in line with the most modern protocol dialects. This is a significant value for any organizations that are bound to Microsoft’s ecosystem.
