Connectivity

OneBridgeAutomate, monitor and centralise file transfers.

Available / supported

OneBridge centralises the recurring file transfers that might otherwise be handled by scheduled tasks, batch files, command-line routines and separate FTP/SFTP utilities. It combines a Windows Service with a desktop configuration tool for defining and maintaining transfer jobs.

01 / The problem it solves

When a file transfer fails, someone should know about it.

Recurring file exchanges tend to grow into a collection of Windows Scheduled Tasks, batch files, DOS commands and separate FTP/SFTP utilities.

Each one works until it doesn't, and then it is hard to see what failed, when and why. OneBridge brings those transfers into one managed service with schedules, logs and error notifications.

03 / How it works

Define the job once. Let the service run it.

01

Configure

The Windows desktop tool creates and edits upload, download and local/network transfer definitions.

02

Schedule

Each job can run at intervals, on selected days and within date/time windows.

03

Transfer

A Windows Service runs the jobs without a logged-in user, checking file locks so files still being written are not picked up.

04

Tidy up

After transfer, source files can be retained, moved or deleted, with every operation logged.

04 / Deployment & integration

Where it runs and what it connects to.

We install, configure and support OneBridge as part of your wider system landscape, and shape each deployment around the systems you already use.

DeploymentWindows Server service plus a Windows desktop configuration application, normally inside your environment.
LocationsLocal folders, mapped drives, UNC paths, FTP servers and SFTP servers.
EvidenceCentral logs and Windows Event Log traces.
05 / How it fits

OneBridge moves files. Other products act on them.

OneBridge is the dependable way to get files where they need to be. When the arrival of a file should trigger a controlled ERP process, OneConnect takes over; when completed batches need to reach Azure Blob Storage, OneUpload provides a simple hand-off.

Security depends on the transfer method you choose: SFTP for encrypted exchanges with partners, with FTP and local network moves also supported where appropriate.
