RocketStream Station's client interface allows the user to establish multiple connections to RocketStream Servers and other RocketStream Stations and can then push files to or pull files from the target computers.
Station can tune the amount of bandwidth it wishes to use, or it can run at maximum speed. Depending on the amount of bandwidth available, maximum speed can be more than 30x faster than traditional FTP-over-TCP.
Station Enterprise can also automate the file transfer process. File transfer jobs can be scheduled, or Station can automatically synchronize to or from a server. It also supports hot folders and mirroring with the server.
RocketStream Station's server capabilities allow the user to define password-protected accounts and share folders for clients (other RocketStream Stations and Clients) to access. However, unlike RocketStream Server, Station can only serve a limited number of clients concurrently.
While acting as a server, RocketStream Station offers a complete suite of surveillance and control features. Client access requires password authentication and can be limited to specified directories. Client activity can be monitored, and available bandwidth can be tuned on a per-client basis.
RocketStream Station uses the RocketStream Protocol to send and receive files. It offers the option to select the UDP setting for high-bandwidth pipes (typically above 5 Mb/s) or to select the PDP setting when less bandwidth is available or firewalls do not allow proprietary protocols to pass.
