VitalSigns for FTP by Software Diversified Services provides low-overhead security and automation for file transfers (mainframe SFTP, FTPS, FTP) to and from mainframes. VitalSigns for FTP addresses the security and visibility shortcomings of FTP in z/OS data infrastructure. It allows file transfers from batch jobs to be redirected through SSH tunnels or translated to SFTP without JCL changes. VitalSigns for FTP secures access and redirects traffic for FTP Servers and Clients on z/OS. It offers a scripting language for z/OS batch jobs and enhances visibility while managing z/OS FTP. VitalSigns for FTP provides controls for configuration and behavior of z/OS FTP clients to ensure compliance and monitor security. It can be used with Tectia SSH to create a secure FTP solution for the mainframe. The VFTP-SSH Collaboration offers Secure FTP for file transfers between all platforms and the mainframe.

Users receive real-time notifications for z/OS FTP job failures and a comprehensive audit trail.
