The ADP Secure File Transfer application provides a secure method of transferring CAD drawings, designs
and communications between ADP, a motor design company, and their clients.
ADP transfer drawings and other digital assets from their office to their website via an HTTPS
secure connection. The files are further encrypted and stored on the server. Clients login to the
website and download the files to their office via the secure connection. Clients only see their
files, and no mention of any other client is revealed to maintain privacy. The files are decrypted
on the fly during the transfer and email notifications sent out upon successful completion to notify
the other party. Similarly, clients can upload files to ADP where they can be downloaded by ADP to their
office.
The ADP Secure File Transfer application also handles various housekeeping tasks such as password
expiry and old file deletion. An administrative portion of the application lets ADP set up and control
various client accounts and logins, assign roles, monitor file transfers and other tasks.
To keep the design simple, clients only see two buttons, Upload and Download, minimizing the interface
options to wade through. ADP administrative users have a more sophisticated interface to set up clients,
users, and monitor transfers. Role-based security was used to control access to the website.
