Changes in 2024

Type	Description
Enhancement	CFT Admin Portal upgrade The CFT Admin Portal has been upgraded, featuring a refreshed look and improved user experience.

Type	Description
Enhancement	S3 native scanning For all workflows that do not require CDR, S3 scanning has been implemented to improve system performance.

Type	Description
Feature	Rate limiting implementation WAF rate limiting is now implemented in the internet zone to enhance system availability and ensure more reliable data transfers. Currently, WAF rate limiting is applied only to HTTP uploads.

Type	Description
Feature	Enable file archiving By default, an active SFTP scheduler job will repeatedly transfer the same files to the SFTP Server Receiver application. When the Enable File Archive feature is enabled in a workflow, CFT automatically archives the files that have been successfully uploaded to the SFTP Server Receiver application. The next job runs will not include any files that have previously been sent to the Receiver application. Note: This feature is only available when the Receiver application in the workflow is an SFTP Server. For more information, refer to Manage workflows.
Enhancement	API workflow ID case insensitivity Previously, when calling CFT API endpoints that required the Workflow ID header or parameter, the system needed to match the exact Workflow ID casing to successfully call the API. Now, Workflow IDs in API endpoints are treated as case-insensitive. This update ensures that API requests can work with Workflow IDs regardless of their letter casing. Refer to CFT REST API Documentation.

Type	Description
Feature	Enable unique file uploads for SFTP When Enable SFTP Unique Files is enabled in a workflow, SFTP Sender applications can upload duplicate files without overwriting existing files, ensuring each new file is renamed uniquely. When not enabled, duplicate files will be overwritten by default. For more information, refer to Manage workflows.
Enhancement	AWS PrivateLink integration SFTP Client systems hosted in GCC 2.0 AWS (Intranet zone) can now use the CFT PrivateLink Endpoint Service for CFT transfers with SFTP SSH Key + password authentication. To get started, please raise a CFT service request. For more information on PrivateLink, refer to AWS documentation.
Fix	Workflow ID filtering In the Logs section, any issues with filtering by Workflow ID have been successfully resolved. Additionally, improvements were made to enhance page loading speed.

Type	Description
Enhancement	Scanners upgrade: increased availability CFT’s Scanners have been upgraded; you can now enjoy increased scanner availability.
Enhancement	Application ID and Workflow ID search Searching for Applications and Workflows by their IDs in the Application and Workflow pages is now supported.
Fix	Corrected PGP and SLIFT file extensions PGP and SLIFT file extensions (.pgp, .p7) are now added/removed as intended upon encryption/decryption.
Feature	File Delete for SFTP Client receiver applications SFTP Client Receiver applications are now able to delete files from the workflow folder.
Enhancement	File name special characters File names with special characters or Unicode characters are now supported.

Type	Description
Feature	GA for SFTP, PGP, and SLIFT SFTP features, along with PGP and SLIFT encryption and decryption, are now officially out of beta and ready for production transfers. Refer to SFTP, PGP, and SLIFT.
Enhancement	Allowed file size for HTTPS sender You can now set the allowed file size for HTTPS Sender applications within your workflow. Here are the maximum file size values that you can set: • HTTPS Application: 1 GB • HTTPS Single-Page Application:     • Internet: 50MB     • Intranet: 500MB Important: Existing HTTPS Sender application workflows will automatically be updated to align with the maximum file size value. Refer to Policy configurations.
Enhancement	Unique File ID for SFTP For SFTP transfers, uploads with the same filename overwrite existing ones. Previously, they all reused the same file ID. Now, a unique file ID is generated to identify each uploaded version. Important: CFT will only keep the latest version of the file, and the previous versions will no longer be retrievable. Always reference the latest file ID when downloading the file.
Enhancement	Vanity ID case insensitivity The Vanity ID field now supports case-insensitivity, and accepts any combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and dashes. Note: Only one (1) permutation of a specific casing input will be accepted in the CFT Portal. For example, if Cft123 is entered for one workflow, then CFT123, cft123, cFt123 will not be reusable in other workflows.

Type	Description
Feature	CDR (Content Disarm and Reconstruction) You can now enable CDR in a workflow to safely disarm all active contents, such as macros, form inputs, and external links, from the files being transferred. Refer to CDR (Content Disarm and Reconstruction). Note: This feature is still in beta.
Enhancement	SFTP Server authentication method options You can now choose your preferred authentication method for your SFTP Server application: either SSH Key only or Both SSH Key and Password. Refer to Manage applications.
Enhancement	Internet APIs access within Singapore without whitelisting required IP whitelisting is no longer required for Internet API access within Singapore. For global whitelisting, contact us.

Type	Description
Feature	New API: List File Details You can now use the List File Details API to retrieve file information such as file ID, key, status, encryption status, and CDR status. Refer to the CFT REST API Documentation.
Enhancement	SFTP Client authentication method options You can now choose your preferred authentication method to connect to the CFT SFTP Server, using either SSH Key only or Both SSH Key and Password. Refer to Manage applications.
Enhancement	Viewing job scripts The uploaded bash scripts for Scheduled SFTP transfers can now be viewed in read-only mode in the Admin Portal.
Enhancement	Permission checks for scheduled jobs Permission checks were added to Scheduler Job and Job Run resources.
Enhancement	Optimisation for scheduler jobs per project The number of Scheduler Jobs per Project has been optimised for enhanced CFT SFTP scheduler performance and project management capabilities.
Fix	Scheduler job creation bug A bug related to Scheduler Job creation has been fixed. CFT now checks the Workflow for validity during Scheduler Jobs creation.
