File Exchange System

The TimeSlice File Exchange system is a web based application providing a secure secure method for allowing clients to upload and download files directly from a company's server.  While there are plenty of cloud services available that provide file sharing, File Exchange System (FES) can be installed on a company's own public facing servers eliminating the restrictions and potential security issues related to using outside cloud services.

 

File uploads from external users:

• File uploads can be directed to specific users you define in your file exchange system.  Users will be notified when a file is sent to them.
• Virtually no limit to the size of files that can be uploaded.
• Users can upload multiple files through drag and drop.
• System administrators can define users and their permissions.
• Files are securely wiped upon deletion.
• Descriptive information can be provided with the uploaded file along with the name and address of the uploading user.

Publish files for external users to download:

• Files can be "published" for download by specific external users. 
• The external user must provide a password / pin associated with a file in order download the file.
• Published files have an "Expiry date" associated with the file.  The file is deleted and no longer available after the expiry date.

 

Firewall Manager Service

FMS is typically used to lockdown remote desktop access so that only specific computers can gain access to remote desktop on a server by restricing RDP access to a predefined set of IP addresses.   Worried about remote access to your servers?  Colocated and remote servers are constantly under attack from malware and hackers attempting to brute force access via remote destop in order to gain control over your server.  FMS mitigates this problem by firewalling all access to specific ports (eg: RDP) except for access from specific IP addresses - your remote address(es).

Restricting RDP access to specific IP addresses is problematic when the client computers are on dynamic IP addresses.  That typically means just about anyone on normal internet connections. FMS overcomes this problem by providing a web interface to allow authorized users to remotely adjust the firewall rule to match their dynamic IP address.

FMS will dynamically synchronize with host names defined in DNS - just update the DNS record and as soon as the new DNS zone information propogates, FMS will synchronize the port rules with the new addresses defined in DNS.

Firewall Manager Service allows you to monitor multiple DNS host names. Multiple servers running FMS can monitor a shared web file and automatically update their rules within the timespan defined in the service's config file.

FMS sycnhronizes using the following mechanisms:

• IP addresses / DNS Hostnames that are always allowed access - defined in the FMS configuration on the server running FMS.
• IP address / DNS hostnames listed in a shared file accessible via a web URL.  The URL is defined in the FMS configuration on the server running FMS.  Changes you make to these shared addresses are automatically published to the shared file if appropriate FTP credentials are configured on the FMS service.
• IP address / DNS hostnames listed in a local file that is specific to the FMS service you are connected to.  Changing these addresses only affects the specific FMS service. Modifiying the Shared and Local allowed addresses immediately updates the firewall on the server running FMS. Other FMS servers that are configured to use the same shared address list will sync with the shared address list changes within a few minutes.

Management and status of FMS:

An optional web application component of FMS allows authorized users to monitor and control FMS.  The web service and web application provide the ability to view and modify the allowed IP addresses on any connected server running the FMS with the web service enabled.

All the above management and configuration features ensure that you can restrict RDP access to ONLY those IP addresses you want to allow.  Even if the remote user is on a dynamic IP, configuration changes can be made so the remote server will allow access from the remote user while completely blocking all other access.
