StingRay for FTP
StingRay can be used for:
 Sending (uploading) files via FTP
 Receiving files via FTP
 Hosting files for collection
 Retrieving files automatically from remote servers

Sending Files via FTP
StingRay’s centralised address book acts as a network-
wide FTP client and can be used to upload files and
folders to any remote, standard FTP server.

Sending Files via FTP
StingRay sends files using a centrally driven, global
address book that contains all of your customer details.

Sending Files via FTP
StingRay offers users simple, drag and drop file sending
features.

Sending Files via FTP
StingRay provides both internal users and customers with
email notification, to inform them when a job has been
sent.

Receiving Files via FTP
All files arrive in one, central incoming Job List which can
be sorted into mailboxes - for example, by your customer’s
company name.

Receiving Files via FTP
Files received by StingRay can be manually collected from
the server or auto-forwarded into your workflow via AFP or
FTP.

Receiving Files via FTP
StingRay generates thumbnail previews of incoming files
(Mac client), so that users can view and identify files
before downloading. It supports most graphical file
formats including, pdf, jpeg, gif, tiff, bmp etc.

Receiving Files via FTP
Email notification is supplied to both internal users and
external customers when files are uploaded by a remote
site.

Hosting Files via FTP
Each customer can have a securely partitioned folder,
where files are hosted for collection. They can also upload
files to this folder.

Hosting Files via FTP
StingRay’s FTP server is accessible using any standard
FTP client.

Hosting Files via FTP
StingRay gives administrators full control over users with
read, write and delete access privileges.

Hosting Files via FTP
StingRay provides both external customers and internal
users with notification upon upload, download or deletion
of a file or folder.

Retrieving Files via FTP
StingRay can be configured to auto-retrieve files from
remote FTP servers.

Retrieving Files via FTP
StingRay will auto-delete files once they have been
downloaded to avoid the same file being downloaded
more than once.

Additional Security Features
As StingRay is a hardware appliance, it has added
security features such as:
 Files are stored securely in an SQL database.
 Files cannot be executed on the server, removing
the possibility for virus and Trojan horse attacks.
 Routing between the Internet and local network is
removed making it impossible to hack into

protocols provided by StingRay.
