23. Inbound Flow
Partners will connect to internet host URL and SFTP port over internet using
any file transfer client
Partners would be able to see the folders with the file transfer client with
names defined as virtual folders in AT and do file transfers.
When the partner places the file, the request reaches AT gateway server
and waits there until AT internal server reaches it and fetches via reverse
connections.
Request would then be transferred to back end file server via the virtual
folder set up/connection.
The same flow applies to users inside Client network also but through an
internal SFTP port created directly on AT internal server.
24. Outbound Flow
Whenever a user or automated service needs to transfer a file to partner
systems either inside or outside client network, he/it will connect to AT
server via SFTP port and will place the file in the virtual folder already
configured on AT.
Virtual folders are set up by AT admin initially when on boarding the
target partner by creating a map to the target folder path over SFTP/FTP.
Outbound connection requests generate directly out of AT internal
server to target partner system.
25. Use Case : Enterprise File Sync and Share
Synchronization across sites/offices
Shared team workspaces
File syndication (one-to-many or few-to-many)
Define read/write privileges and time-limited access
Bi-directional synchronization of folders
Role-based privileges for allowing users to create shared project folders
Alert emails for stake holders when critical files got created or modified
