GlobalSCAPE
®EFT Server™ version 6 is available in a small-to-medium business "SMB" (EFT Server)
edition and an enterprise (EFT Server Enterprise) edition. Each edition is built on the same foundation
and offer similar core functionality to enable organizations to receive files from business partners or end
users over a variety of Internet standard protocols, such as FTP/S, SFTP, and HTTP/S. Add-on
modules are available to both products that extend auditing from simple flat-file logging to database
driven auditing and customizable reports; provide advanced security controls typically needed by
organizations that must comply with security standards such as PCI, HIPAA, or SoX; facilitate ad hoc
provisioning of users; provide a richer experience when transferring data over a web browser.
During the evaluation period, all functionality is enabled and visible in the EFT Server administration
interface. After the trial expires, the functions and modules that are enabled and visible depend on the
license purchased. (EFT Server's Web Services interface, Oracle support, and AS2 are available only
in the Enterprise edition.)
The tables below compare the features available in each edition. Certain features require the activation
of one or more of the following modules, as indicated by one or more superscript numbers next to
"Optional." For example, "Optional
6,7" indicates that the feature requires the High Security module (6)
and the Auditing and Reporting module (7).
1. SFTP module (included in EFT Server Enterprise)
2. HTTP/S module (included in EFT Server Enterprise)
3. OpenPGP Encryption/Decryption module
4. Secure Ad Hoc Transfer module
5. Web Transfer Client (Requires HTTP/S module; the basic edition is limited to maximum of 5
concurrent users)
6. High Security module (Requires ARM)
7. Auditing and Reporting (ARM) (Oracle support available in EFT Server Enterprise only)
8. DMZ Gateway (Outbound proxy support in EFT Server Enterprise only)
9. AS2 (Available in EFT Server Enterprise only; requires ARM and HTTP modules)
10. Advanced Workflow Engine (AWE module); (Available in EFT Server Enterprise only)
