Cerberus FTP Server
File Transfer Automation
Cerberus FTP Server provides a comprehensive automated file transfer solution that makes managing a high-volume of file transfers easy with a safe, audited system that reduces the need for custom programming to transfer data between systems.
Event Rules
Create event rules to automate common file transfer activities – without any coding.
Scheduled Tasks
Run recurring tasks like file report uploads to another server on a regular basis.
Conditional Rules
Select an event type and configure the conditions upon which that rule’s actions trigger.
Scriptable Variables
Include event variables in conditions and actions.
Event Actions
Email a client, create a folder, move, zip, or delete a file, send a file to another server via SFTP or FTPS, or invoke a batch file or PowerShell script in response to a server event.
File Retention Policies & Folder Events
Schedule regular cleanup of folders and files to meet compliance regulations.
Secure File Transfer Automation
Your company may frequently move hundreds or even thousands of files daily. Basic file transfer tools can be reliable on a small scale, but many companies need a more advanced file transfer solution.
Avoid human error from manual processing, saving hours of lost time. Exchange data with your external trading partners, clients, remote locations, vendors, and stakeholders. Schedule your transfers using our tasks scheduling system, or immediately respond to server events like an incoming file transfer to automate your workflow.
Create a Document Deletion Policy
Organizations are often required to retain documents for a certain period of time due to compliance, legal, or other regulations. However, retaining documents for longer than required can expose the organization to legal risk.
With a document deletion policy, you can proactively reduce risk by deleting documents in a site after a specific period of time.
Event Rules and Scheduled Tasks
- Define Event Triggers: There are many different rule types, each with a specific trigger that determines when the rule fires
- Use Variables: Every event rule or scheduled task has access to dynamic event variables such as timestamps, file names, or file paths
- Create Complex Workflows: Tie multiple actions together in sequence, or set specific actions for conditional execution
- Conditional Events: Choose from a wide variety of conditions, such as elapsed time or group status
- Flexible Actions: Execute any server action you choose, including emails, file backups, and data transfers within or outside your organization
