FileCatalyst SDK

FileCatalyst provides a variety of integration options for third-party Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to support accelerated file transfers within their products. The FileCatalyst SDK boasts a large number of components, development languages, and environments.

FileCatalyst can be integrated into any application/workflow with minimal coding and provides a full range of method calls with access to all common and advanced features.

Product APIs Available Usage

*Transfer to and from Workflow

The Development Kit is the foundation of our products; if you own any qualifying products, the Development Kit may be licensed as an add-on. For standalone development, the SDK is typically added on to FileCatalyst Direct; however, some components are designed to interact with FileCatalyst Workflow.

Client API

Integrated via the REST API, TransferController offers the ability to perform transfers between multiple nodes as a single process. The TransferController also provides real-time status on the transfer.

Provides methods for establishing a connection with a FileCatalyst Server, uploading and downloading files, and full control over ongoing transfers. Default values are used for common functions, but the API provides a full range of method calls for advanced features. The API also allows users to programmatically submit jobs and files to FileCatalyst Workflow.

simple Java
Advanced Java

A native C++ client API that is also available as a command-line executable. It allows FileCatalyst to be embedded on systems without Java. This API provides the same functions as the Java API, and can be compiled/used on platforms that do not support Java.

C++ Sample

Exposes every method needed to manage users, groups and virtual files/folders as well as request session information from a FileCatalyst Server.

Server API example

This API gives full control over any HotFolder instance.  It exposes methods that let you add new watch folders, new sites and create, manipulate, and execute tasks.

Enables tight integration of FileCatalyst within any web application. Web applications using TransferAgent are able to access/browse local file systems, add files to a queue, and initiate or monitor file transfers through JavaScript, or directly through REST calls.

Provides complete access to reporting data for all connected nodes. The API also acts as a reverse HTTP proxy to access the REST APIs of individual connected nodes such as Server, HotFolder and TransferAgent.

Provides interfaces that allow you to transfer files via a command line console, providing an easy scripting experience. Available in both JAVA and C++, these tools can be integrated into existing shell scripts that currently use FTP, SCP or rsync.
