Overview

BlueZone FTP and BlueZone Secure FTP (File Transfer Protocol) was designed specifically for Windows PC's to provide secure file transfers to and from virtually all FTP hosts including IBM Mainframe and iSeries FTP Hosts, as well as UNIX, Windows NT and other FTP hosts. BlueZone FTP has an easy to use Windows GUI interface and comes complete with SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption.

BlueZone Secure FTP can be installed as part of BlueZone Desktop and BlueZone Web-to-Host which share identical look, feel, and features, providing the same interface for internal users using BlueZone Desktop and external web users using BlueZone Web-to-Host. The primary difference between the products is the method of delivery to the end users desktop. BlueZone Desktop can be installed just like any desktop application or, it can be installed via a web browser. BlueZone Web-to-Host is also delivered and updated via a web browser with virtually no user intervention. Functionally, BlueZone Desktop and BlueZone Web-to-Host are identical. Throughout this help system, all references to BlueZone can be assumed to be applicable to both BlueZone Desktop and BlueZone Web-to-Host unless otherwise noted.

BlueZone Secure FTP is a file transfer software package engineered to work with several types of FTP servers which include:

IBM iSeries
IBM MVS
IBM VM
IBM VSE
UNIX (standard)
Windows NT

End users using BlueZone Secure FTP delivered via their web browser, may not have access or been granted the authority to make changes to their configurations. All of the features listed in this online help guide are available to users of BlueZone Secure FTP delivered via the web, and may be granted on a user, group, or global basis. See the BlueZone Administrator's Guide for detailed information about managing user configurations.

NOTE Throughout this Online Help system, BlueZone Secure FTP will be referred to as BlueZone FTP.
