The document discusses Novell's managed file transfer solutions. It describes how the Reflection Managed File Transfer system allows for automated, regular file exchanges between internal and external parties. The system uses directory monitoring and automated transfers to move files via SFTP in a secure manner. It provides options for a lightweight solution using only Windows clients and servers, or a full-featured installation with a web edition and client.
