FileCatalyst Direct

FileCatalyst Direct is a software only solution for accelerating file transfers. Using a Server-Client architecture, FileCatalyst can accelerate file transfers and simplify exchanging very large files. Unless otherwise directed, software trials generally begin by downloading FileCatalyst Server and one of the client applications. For more details, follow the Quick Start guide: FileCatalyst Server Quick Start (PDF)

FileCatalyst Direct v Release Notes

Compatibility Advisory:

HotFolder, Server, and TransferAgent v3.9.X nodes will be the only versions compatible with older versions of FileCatalyst Central, as well as future FileCatalyst Central v4.0.0.

Follow the standard upgrade process during upgrades to v3.9.X.

Specific instructions will be provided in future for upgrades to v4.0.0.

FileCatalyst Direct v3.8+ has embedded Amazon Coretto Java 8 JRE in our installers for all non-SDK products, thus, separate Java installation should no longer be required. If desired, or for use with our SDK offerings, the embedded Java version supported by our current products can be found for separate download on our SDK page.
