A good example is users who want to use DropBox directly with Apple iWork for example. Currently we support:Ĭompanies can access data using any of these protocols irrespective of whether the underlying data store supports such protocols. Regular users of our business cloud will know that we offer a variety of protocol adaptors as entry points into the various back end private storage and cloud storage products that we support. SaaS access to SFTP (for business plan users) can be achieved using the following URL’s: SFTP Cloud files Access is available for Files Fabric Enterprise, IaaS, UK Government G-Cloud, or SaaS (business plan only) solutions. To find out more about the SME protocol gateway feature that is part of the File Fabric solution please check out the below video. Once connected we can do an ‘ls’ to get a file listing and the view of the files is similar to our earlier UI view. Once connected, all data and mapped clouds are accessible.Īccess can also be done directly from the command line. once added, it can be used as protocol gateway for any cloud mapped to an account, note that the Port is 2200īelow is an example of using the SFTP protocol to access a Storage Made Easy account using Transmit (a Mac App). This was the primary requirement, but because Storage Made Easy works with almost any back-end Cloud. The primary reason we investigated implementing SFTP is due to a government POC in which access was required to secure AWSGov Cloud files from medical terminals. SFTP is one of the two primary technologies for secure FTP networking, the other being FTPS, which Storage Made Easy already supports (along with FTP, WebDav, Secure WebDav and S3). Storage Made Easy® have now made live a new SFTP protocol adaptor. Secure access to files and data can take many forms and in the Enterprise the edge cases also need to be catered for as well as the more common access use cases. These reports can be exported and made available in excel to any compliance officer. Once connected the view of the folder/files is available and can be worked with via the command line.Īll access to the files are also logged and audited, including the username, the IP address and the types of interactions occurring, all part of a the HIPPA compliant process the customer implements. Once authenticated the user can do a simple “ls” to get a file listing. User access can be obtained directly from the command line as per the example below. As the SME EFSS product also include a protocol gateway this mean it was possible to get direct terminal access to remote files using SFTP.Īs the SME EFSS Gateway product integrated with the companies Active Directory services then terminal access was still using Single Sign On and the Active Directory credentials for each user access The consultants did however have direct access to terminals which were internet enabled. In the past this meant that the consultant used to carry around CD’s / DVD’s in which information that may be required is burned off. there is no direct web access and mobile devices are blocked and cannot be turned on. Their field staff quite often find themselves in a situation where, when working remotely, their only means of access is using a terminal ie. This meant that the companies scripts and applications could easily work locally and with Amazon S3 with very minimal configuration changes. The SME Appliance is able to make local storage accessible over an S3 compatible API and then off-board this storage to Amazon S3 as required. Both sets of storage use the Amazon S3 API. They use the SME product as a hybrid on-premise cloud product that is able to offer storage locally and on Amazon S3. One of the customers that use the Storage Made Easy on-premise Enterprise File Share and Sync Cloud Control product is a medical company. To be fair this can often be the majority of cases, but the Enterprise throws up all sorts of different use cases and I thought it would be useful to go over one of the more esoteric ones. We quite often assume that when working with Cloud data it will be from the web or from mobile “on the go” devices.
