FILE Catalist by Fortra—Enterprise Fast File Transfer

FileCatalyst provides fast file transfer solutions that are perfect alternatives to FTP. Their solutions enable you to send files of any size or format at full line speed, hundreds of times faster than FTP, while ensuring secure and reliable delivery.

The FileCatalyst Portfolio consists of several products:

• FileCatalyst Direct is a complete point-to-point file transfer solution

• FileCatalyst Workflow uses any browser for all your file transfer needs

• FileCatalyst Central monitors and centralises your entire FileCatalyst deployment

While UDP forms the foundation of FileCatalyst, its patented technology takes the best of UDP’s speed and adds reliability and rate control for secure and fast file transfer.

FileCatalyst also, like TCP, breaks data into blocks. However, FileCatalyst continues to send data blocks without requiring receipt acknowledgement for steady data delivery.
