Secure HTTP File Transfer for IBM i

The HTTP/S Server and HTTP/S Client modules of nuBridges Exchange i (a suite of file transfer, connectivity and Internet EDI software that runs natively on the IBM i platform) provide a simple host-based mailboxing system where internal and external trading partners can upload and download files through any Web browser. Unlike IBM's native HTTP server, nuBridges HTTP/s does not require you to expose valid IBM i passwords.

HTTP/S will conduct exchanges via a secure port number, not the standard HTTP Port 80 path. HTTP/S will encrypt the session data using the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol.

nuBridges HTTP/S client provides an intelligent scriptable browser feature that allows you to automate the transactions with any remote HTTP server. With the CL command interface, automate any IBM i HTTP session in one CL script, including user-defined recovery.

• Virtual directory support
