GlobalScape EFT

Globalscape EFT's superpowers

Automation without scripting

Globalscape EFT helps organizations automate file transfers and related process steps without relying on scattered scripts or manual actions. Using a workflow-based approach, transfers can be scheduled, triggered by events, and executed consistently end to end. For IT, this means less operational overhead and fewer fragile custom solutions; for the business, it translates into faster turnaround times and more reliable execution.

High availability and performance for business-critical transfers

When file transfers are part of daily operations or end-to-end supply chain processes, uptime is essential. Globalscape EFT supports high-availability deployment options, including active-active clustering, and can scale horizontally to handle higher throughput. It is also designed to move large files efficiently, even across higher-latency networks. The result is fewer disruptions, stronger continuity, and greater confidence in critical data flows.

Security, compliance, and controlled collaboration

Globalscape EFT is built around secure exchange and demonstrable control. It supports widely used secure protocols such as HTTP(S), SFTP, FTPS, and AS2, and offers strong authentication options including multi-factor authentication, single sign-on, and smart cards. For governance and compliance, Globalscape EFT provides extensive tracking and logging, complemented by capabilities such as content inspection and redaction to help prevent unintended data loss, as well as controlled collaboration for internal and external users. This keeps sensitive data protected, visible, and audit-ready.

Globalscape EFT

The GlobalScape Enhanced File Transfer (EFT) Server enables organisations to send files to clients and partners anywhere in the world securely, reliably and simply. EFT servers guarantee that the data security and privacy regulations established by the government are met and they also comply with nearly every organisation’s internal security policy. Thanks to various modules and Korper ICT’s professional services, the flexible platform the GlobalScape EFT servers run on offers businesses the option to customise, including automation of workflow, execution of inspections and reports and the extra security (encrypting) of selected files or all files.

DMZ Gateway Keeps You Safe

Thanks to the combination of the DMZ Gateway and the EFT Server, a multi-layer security solution is created for the storage and retrieval of data and the authentication and passing of the firewall. In contrast to other store-and-forward technologies, the DMZ Gateway does not store data or process it. It is a liaison through the ‘Demilitarised Zone’ to your internal network. This means your data is always safe and protected behind the firewall. The EFT Server DMZ Gateway sets up a so-called ‘East-to-West’ connection between the EFT Server and the DMZ Server. This ensures that ports from your internet network to the internet are never open.

Software for File Transfers That Save You Time and Money

Using EFT can give your operational efficiency a big boost. Due to the combination of a powerful server with an automated client, this software offers you the best of all file transfer software components in one platform. This allows you to:

Start off quickly and in an intuitive manner
Automate file transfers, especially two-way transfers
Reduce errors and failures
Shrink file transfer installation time by up to 80%

Deploy on-premises or in the cloud

Every organization has its own requirements, and those needs evolve over time. With Globalscape EFT, you have the flexibility to adapt as your business changes. EFT can be implemented within your own network behind the firewall, hosted in a private cloud, or deployed on public cloud platforms such as AWS or Microsoft Azure.

High Availability Active-Active Clustering

EFT’s active-active deployment provides high availability by using two or more EFT servers in combination with a load balancer which makes your network available non-stop. All the nodes in this network are set to work without standby hardware or cluster software, in contrast to active-passive failover clusters.

More Security, More Control, Less Work

Managed file transfer software plays an important role for many companies. As soon as the user of the information in your organisation becomes dependent on manual, unplanned batch processes in order to deliver the information needed, day to day productivity becomes vulnerable. This vulnerability is caused by limits to manpower when personnel are on holiday or sick leave for example, but it can also be caused by human error. GlobalScape’s powerful managed file transfer software offers you the extra possibility of automating intensive processes which provides you with necessary control and insight.

Modules Make EFT Scalable and Adaptable

Your company is unique, as is your data. For this reason, your managed file transfer software should be custom made based on your security preferences and the challenges facing your organisation. The EFT Server is available in two editions: SMB and Enterprise. Ensure reliable and secure file transfers in your company with EFT SMB. If necessary, you can always upgrade easily or you can select the Enterprise edition immediately, which offers advanced file transfer capabilities and substantial automaton options.

Migrating from SMB to Enterprise

Both the Enterprise and SMB versions of EFT are built on the same platform, which makes migrating very simple. This way, the managed file transfer software can grow along with your company and adapt to meet your changing needs.

Globalscape EFT's modules

Auditing & Reporting Module (ARM)

Captures all transactions and events in EFT and stores them in real time in a relational database, enabling fast searching, analysis, and reporting. Ideal for troubleshooting, compliance/non‑repudiation, and internal accountability (e.g., billing or trend analyses), with both preconfigured reports and the ability to design your own.

Advanced Workflow Engine (AWE)

For process automation: build advanced workflows using drag‑and‑drop (no code) and link them directly to EFT Event Rules. Replace scripts and batch jobs with reusable automation and integrations, with a broad set of actions for end‑to‑end file transfer orchestration.

DMZ Gateway

Strengthens your perimeter by allowing EFT to operate securely in a multi-layer DMZ setup: the DMZ Gateway acts as a proxy/communications bridge without requiring you to open inbound (west→east) holes through your firewall. This reduces complexity, lowers failure points, and can make data available in real time to back-end systems.

HTTPS Module (HTTP/HTTPS)

Enables browser-based file transfers via HTTP/HTTPS without needing to deploy a separate web server: users work simply through their browser. HTTPS encrypts the session (TLS/SSL), making it suitable for secure exchange with customers/partners with minimal client requirements.

OpenPGP Module

Adds OpenPGP encryption for data (strong public-key plus symmetric cryptography), including encrypt/sign/decrypt/verify and support for digital signatures. This secures files not only “in transit,” but also at rest, where PGP is often a hard requirement in partner chains.

Web Transfer Client (WTC)

A browser-based file transfer client that lets users upload/download via HTTPS and perform basic file management (such as managing folders, pausing/resuming transfers, and sharing). Low-friction for external partners: works in modern browsers and requires little to no client administration.

Application Statement 2 (AS2) Module

Enables secure exchange with supply-chain partners via AS2, widely used for EDI (but also suitable for other file types). AS2 manages the entire process of connecting, delivering, validating, and handling acknowledgements, using a secure “envelope” over HTTP/HTTPS and clear verification/reporting per transmission.

Business Activity Monitoring (BAM)

A web-based (self-service) dashboard that gives both IT and business users real-time insight into file transfers and transaction statuses, including drill-down to detail. This results in fewer “where is my file?” tickets and more control over processes by department/procedure.

High Security Module (HSM)

For organizations with stringent requirements: raises the security level with, among other things, stricter account/password policies, support for FIPS-compliant protocols/ciphers, and monitoring/auditing of configuration changes toward a less secure state. Helps demonstrate controls for standards such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOX, and ISO-like frameworks.

Mobile Transfer Client (MTC)

A mobile client/app for secure access to files on EFT from mobile devices (BYOD), focused on productivity while keeping corporate data within organizational boundaries. Useful for teams that need to securely upload/download while on the move.

SFTP (SSH)

Supports SFTP/SSH for platform-independent, encrypted file transfer with, among other things, password and public-key authentication, key management, and extensive logging. Often requested by partners as the “secure FTP” standard and helps meet security/compliance requirements for data transport.
