WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition

WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition delivers a reliable managed file transfer solution for moving files between IT systems regardless of file size without the need for programming. WebSphere MQ messaging is used as the reliable transport mechanism files are split up into messages and sent across the MQ network. The files can be secured using SSL and transferred using WebSphere MQ File transfer agent.

IBM® WebSphere® MQ File Transfer Edition, hereafter called FTE, integrates with an existing MQ network to add managed file transfer functionality.
