SFTP, or secure FTP, is a method of transferring files over a secure, encrypted connection. Unlike standard FTP, it encrypts both commands and data, preventing passwords and sensitive information from being transmitted in clear text over the public network. The security in SFTP comes through its integration with SSH, which provides an encrypted transport layer over which the SFTP commands are executed.
Advantco SFTP Adapter is certified integration for SAP NetWeaver®. It is a native JCA Adapter which plugs into the existing J2EE Adapter Framework of SAP PI. The adapter works like the standard SAP PI/PO FTP adapter and offers the same content conversion functionality, but instead uses SSH to encrypt the file transfer.
Advantco SFTP Adapter also complies with FIPS 140-2 standard for use by the US and Canadian governments, as well as other regulated industries (such as financial and health-care institutions), to obtain the required security for data transfer.

Advantco SFTP and PGP Adapters
Johns Hopkins has greatly benefited from the use of the Advantco SFTP and PGP adapters. We needed to retire our current scripts for PGP encryption and also find a SFTP client that worked seamlessly with SAP PI 7.1. We did evaluations of different third party products. Once we got into the evaluations we noticed that the Advantco documentation was excellent and on issues, some caused by us, the onboarding support was fantastic. Next, we gave a review for the Advantco PGP Solution, which needed a face lift and within the next release they met and exceeded the enhancements that were requested. They followed up to make sure they met our requirements and to get more feedback. We had a development question a few months after we went live with their solutions and their ticket system was easy to use. Again we got immediate feedback to help solve our issue. It also helped to insure that we had an integrated solution that gave another layer of encryption security for data and transmissions. We have successfully required and deployed the use of asymmetric keys to meet our strict requirements. I have no problems rating it 5 stars. Mich Wilhelmi / Systems Engineer for SAP PI

Advantco SFTP Adapter
At JCrew we needed a SFTP solution for integration with 3rd Party providers and other specific requirements. We did a thorough evaluation of the solutions available for the same and chose Advantco SFTP Adapter. We are glad we did because right from the start we found that they not only had a great Product but also a great Support team backing their product. The Adapter was tested intensively to make sure it not only fulfills our requirements but also is able to perform all the tasks a standard SAP provided ftp adapter can perform like content conversion, integrated administration through RWB, using different File encoding etc. Installation was a breeze, documentation is detailed, the SFTP adapter works without any issues and their Support is A++.
Fiserv has greatly benefited from the use of the Advantco SFTP and PGP adapters. The configuration steps, key management and other options are self explanatory and easy to use. Also the Advantco documentation and process logs are detailed and informative. Advantco's customer service is very impressive! Eric Wright / PI Lead

Advantco SFTP Adapter
The installation and deployment of the SFTP (PI 7.1) adapter was straight forward and easy to complete. The adapter has met all our requirements and is performing well. We are very pleased with the product and its performance. Additionally, the technical support team at Advantco is excellant. They were very quick and responsive in helping us troubleshoot two different issues. I might add both of these issues were the result of network and security problems and were not even product related. Brian Busse / Sun Products Corporation
