   Hi All,
   We are trying to add additional feature in our project which involves file transfer between two machines. Currently the transfer is between a remote ftp server machine to a local system and vice versa using a client application installed locally.

   Now we are analyzing the feasibility to initiate file transfer between two remote ftp server machines without routing the file through a client connection. We have identified FXP (File eXchange Protocol) to be utilized to achieve the functionality. Currently the application supports secured file transfer and resume broken downloads features. Can the same be achieved using FXP? Also is there any alternate approach to achieve the functionality rather than using FXP. FXP has a known vulnerability on exploiting ftp server termed FTP bounce.
   We have the ftp service hosted on Unix machine.

   We have identified FXP,JXTA,SCP as the protocols which supports the server to server file transfer.
   Your points and directions in using the best protocol which suites our requirement ,is very much appreciated

   Regards,
   Suresh

   Hello Suresh,

   As Paul mentioned above, you can use Conexme (file transfer) in combination with Logmein (remote desktop) to accomplish your task.

   Please follow the steps below to initiate a file transfer between two remote servers from a third computer:

   1. Sign up and install logmein onto both remote servers.

   2. Sign up and launch Conexme on both remote servers. You can launch Conexme on each server using one username and then bind each server to a different location (e.g. Server 1 and Server 2).

   3. Launch logmein on the third computer and remote desktop into either Server 1 or Server 2 and upload or download files between both servers through Conexme.

   If you have any questions, feel free to post them.

   Actually our aim is automation.This Conexme doesnt works in this case.I want to know some details about FXP

   1. Are there any jars available with the implementation of FXP?
   2. Can we transfer multiple files in a unit of work using FXP ( transfer many files in a single transaction )?
   3. Can we have Checksum matching, Checkpoint, Auditlog and Resume functionalities in FXP?
   4. Can we implement security features like 128 bit encryption/ 256 bit encryption etc in FXP?
   Any suggestions will help me a lot.
