Introduction

A typical FileXpress Gateway distributed configuration is shown below. This configuration supports secure file exchange with users outside your network. Files are transferred through a proxy in the DMZ to a file storage server behind the firewall. In this configuration, the FileXpress Gateway Administrator (which manages user and transfer configuration) also runs securely in the internal network.

Note: It is also possible to install all of the FileXpress Gateway services on a single system. This can be useful for initial evaluation, and this simpler configuration is used in this evaluation guide.
