Message paths
There are various different ways of sending EDI messages. Whether you're familiar with terms such as File Transfer Protocol, Odette File Transfer Protocol, AS2, or even Telebox400 or X.400 or they're like a foreign language to you, you're in safe hands with us. We're easy to connect with!
AS2 is one of the most widely used transmission paths, and is considered by many EDI experts to be the most suitable for electronic data exchange. So with us, you can also communicate via message paths that are both state-of-the-art and among the most common choices worldwide.
- The IT standard AS2 (Applicability Statement 2) for the safe transmission of data via the Internet defines how the connection between the parties is constructed and how the data is dispatched
- A digital "envelope" around the data ensures safe and encrypted transmission
- Digital signature shows who dispatched which message at what time
- The sender of a message also receives an automatic confirmation of receipt (MDN, Message Disposition Notification) on request.
- In contrast to other transmission channels like FTP or X.400, AS2 is designed for business data exchange
- For the construction of an AS2 connection, specifications like URL, IP address, AS2 ID and information about encryption and signature are exchanged.
- An FTP server provides no security. It doesn't allow you to encrypt the files you send, so it shouldn't be used to transfer sensitive data
- FTP is still the predominant standard for data transfer, but there is no strong argument for using it anymore
- SFTP has overcome these weaknesses by building on a security subsystem of SSH. This means that the big difference between FTP and SFTP is the additional protection the latter offers.
- In order to enable setup with an FTP server, SFTP requires authentication. This can be done using a public key procedure or with a combination of username and password
- What's more, an SFTP connection is more stable, allows for better troubleshooting, offers easier configuration for client and server, and the file size allowed for a single transfer is four times as big
With SFTP, we will future-proof your connection. This message path also allows us to respond even more flexibly to your requirements. Want to know how easily and securely we can connect you to our SAP system? If you want a familiar solution, SFTP is the perfect choice.
