FTP & SFTP MIGRATION
Keep the Transfers,
Change How They Run.
FTP and SFTP still connect your servers, your business systems and your outside partners. Replacing years of servers, accounts, scripts and schedules in a single move is rarely realistic.
INNORIX keeps the transfer relationships and the business conditions you run today, and moves them to the new platform one job at a time. Existing FTP/SFTP links stay in place for as long as you need them, while the repeated file moves, the recovery and the run history are modernized.

TRANSFER MIGRATION
Not Just the Server —
the Whole Transfer Job Moves.
An existing FTP/SFTP transfer is more than a sending server and a receiving one. Directories, run times, file selection rules, retry behaviour and follow-up work are all tied to it. Change only the server or the protocol and every one of those conditions has to be built again.
INNORIX takes your current transfer relationships and carries Source and Target, Schedule and the script's run conditions into the new transfer configuration. What runs when, which files go where, and what happens once it completes are all reflected — so this is a migration of the work itself, not a server swap.

GRADUAL MIGRATION
You Do Not Have to Change
Every Transfer at Once.
Replacing every FTP/SFTP connection an enterprise runs at the same time raises the risk of interruption. Starting with the jobs that cost the most to operate, or that gain the most from the change, is the practical order.
INNORIX checks the paths and run conditions of an existing transfer, builds it the new way, and lets you verify the result against real files and your own network. Run both side by side and compare if you want to; a transfer moves across only once it has been verified. Interfaces that are hard to change — an SFTP link with an outside partner — can stay exactly as they are while the internal transfers improve.

TRANSFER MODERNIZATION
From Relay Servers and Scripts
to a Simpler Transfer.
In an existing FTP/SFTP setup a file is often written to a relay server and sent on from there, or moved by a chain of shell scripts and batch jobs. That adds steps, and when something fails it adds work to find the cause and recover.
Where a direct transfer is possible, INNORIX removes the staging and re-sending step. Run conditions and follow-up work scattered across scripts become a Flow you can reuse. Schedule, file selection, retry and result checks sit in one transfer operation, so the structure gets simpler while the work stays the same.
Transfer StructureThe nightly job above, before and after.
Before
Sent on through a relay
The file is written to a relay server, then sent on to its destination.
- Business ServerFTP · 10.0.0.12
- Relay FTP ServerStaging · 172.16.0.8
- Target ServerSFTP · 192.168.1.20
- Two hops: the transfer takes twice as long
- A relay failure stops the whole transfer
- Three servers and a script to operate
After
Direct where a path exists
The same two servers, with nothing staged in between.
- Business ServerFTP · 10.0.0.12
- Target ServerSFTP · 192.168.1.20
- One hop: staging and re-sending are gone
- A failure resumes instead of starting over
- Run conditions and results in one place
UNIFIED OPERATIONS
From FTP to One Platform
for Every File Move.
The value of an FTP/SFTP migration is not that one protocol was swapped for another. It is that the migrated transfers connect to new servers, to cloud and to object storage, and that distribution, collection and recurring automation run in the same place.
INNORIX keeps the targets and the run conditions together, and shows each job's progress, its failures and recoveries, and its completed result the same way. Existing FTP/SFTP transfers move in whatever order suits you, while new transfers are built on the platform from the start — so server-by-server scripts do not pile up again.
Transfer OperationsThe same five jobs, migrated and not, in one list.
Existing transfers included
A job still on FTP or SFTP is operated from the same list as a migrated one.
Status as it happens
Progress, failures and completed results are read in a single view.
Recovery and re-send
A failed job resumes from where it stopped rather than starting over.
Room to grow
Servers, cloud and object storage extend the same transfer environment.
