Description
SolarWinds Serv-U Gateway is the essential security add-on for Serv-U Managed File Transfer (MFT) Server. It allows you to safely accept incoming file transfer connections in your DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) without storing any data there.
Acting as a reverse proxy, the Gateway ensures that your sensitive files remain safely on your internal network. External partners connect to the Gateway, which then streams the data securely to the internal MFT server. This "Defense-in-Depth" architecture is critical for meeting PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance requirements.
Key Features & Benefits
- Zero Data in DMZ: Ensures no sensitive files are ever stored on the public-facing server in the DMZ.
- Reverse Proxy: Acts as a secure bridge, terminating connections from the internet and establishing a separate connection to the internal server.
- FIPS 140-2 Crypto: Uses validated cryptography to secure the control and data channels.
- Address Masquerading: Hides internal IP addresses and server details from external clients.
- IPv6 Support: Fully supports modern IPv6 networking standards.

FAQs for Serv-U Gateway
Q: Is this a standalone product?
A: No. Serv-U Gateway is an add-on. It requires a licensed Serv-U MFT Server to function. You cannot use the Gateway by itself.
Q: Where do I install this?
A: You install the Gateway software on a hardened server located in your DMZ (Demilitarized Zone), while your main Serv-U MFT Server remains protected inside your internal LAN.
