Advanced Features with a Jump Host
Why use a Jump Host?
- A jump host is located in a DMZ or demilitarized zone and therefore it can access servers at customer sites via the Internet. Local servers quite often are excluded from Internet access for security concerns.
- Jump hosts are used in order to store files temporarily and to forward them to the final destination Depending on the transfer direction, this can either be a local server or a server at a customer site .
Security Considerations
- When operating Jade for a jump host then no configuration data will be stored on that host. Instead, the Jade client hands over its parameterization to the jump host on-the-fly where it is used by an additional Jade client instance.
- Files are stored temporarily on the jump host and are removed on completion of the transfer.
- No log output is created on the jump host, therefore no private data are stored on that host.
