Advanced Features with a Jump Host
| Excerpt |
|---|
JADE can be used on a jump host to provide file transfer across secure Internet / Intranet interfaces. |
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 .
- A typical jump host architecture is shown in the following diagram:

Security Considerations
- When operating Jade for a jump host then no configuration data will be stored on that Jade does not store its configuration data on the jump 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 , and therefore no private data are is not stored on that host.
