Overview of FTRA Security

The FTRA is a stand-alone application that transfers EAGLE database tables using an FTP session to a remote server for offline processing. A secure connection is required between the FTRA and the EAGLE.

Operating System Security

FTRA is primarily a java built application with select components built in C/C++. FTRA runs under the Oracle Linux operating system, and the Windows ® 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems. Java 1.8 or later is required. For more information about software and hardware requirements, see the FTRA Software Installation Guide.

Restricting Access to FTRA

Restrict access to the FTRA program and its data files to authorized personnel only. To restrict access to personnel authorized to operate the program, see the Restricting Access to FTRA on Windows and Restricting Access to FTRA on Linux topics in the FTRA Software Installation Guide.

Use SSH/SSL Connections

SSH/SSL is a robust, commercial-grade, and full-featured toolkit that implements the security and network encryption. SSH/SSL provides secure data transmission through encryption keys.

Encryption is recommended for the connection between the FTRA and the EAGLE. The EAGLE has a key for each FTRA that it services. For more information, see the "Implementing FTRA Security" section.
