Flexible, scalable, all-in-one Managed File Transfer (MFT) Server

MFT servers are secure file transfer solutions that support a variety of common protocols to encrypt real-time data transfers. MFT is also used to execute ad hoc file transfers, maintain detailed auditing and protect data at rest with PGP and other encryption programs.

JSCAPE is a user-friendly MFT solution that supports all common protocols (SFTP, FTPS, HTTPS, TLS/SSL) and platforms, making it easy to share sensitive data with any trading partner at scale. Users can automate file transfer operations to streamline business processes that involve EDI and other data exchanges.

For large organizations, an MFT server like JSCAPE provides the crucial ability to consolidate disparate file transfer tools and processes across the entire enterprise, addressing challenges such as a lack of interoperability and complex data management.

SSH file transfer protocol (SFTP) is a secure file transfer protocol that encrypts data in transit using Secure Shell. It’s commonly used for point-to-point file transfers and supports basic functions such as authentication, file uploads/downloads and directory operations. SFTP servers are typically deployed for simple, secure file exchange between systems or with external partners.

An MFT server, on the other hand, is a comprehensive managed file transfer solution designed for handling complex file transfer workflows across an organization. MFT servers support multiple protocols (SFTP, FTPS, HTTPS and more), provide centralized control over user access and include features like automation, real-time monitoring, API integration and support for regulatory compliance standards like HIPAA, GDPR and PCI DSS. MFT software is built to meet business needs such as high-volume data movement, secure file sharing and integration with systems like Active Directory and Microsoft applications.

An MFT server provides centralized control over file transfer processes while supporting multiple protocols like SFTP, FTPS and HTTPS. It allows organizations to automate workflows, manage user access and enforce policies for secure file transfer, authentication and compliance with mandates like HIPAA, PCI DSS and SOX. MFT solutions are designed to meet business needs for reliable data exchange between internal systems, external trading partners and cloud environments.

Unlike traditional FTP servers or ad hoc file sharing, MFT servers offer visibility, logging and encryption for sensitive data moving across diverse IT infrastructures. They support integrations with Active Directory, LDAP and API endpoints for better coordination with enterprise applications on Windows, Linux or hybrid platforms. MFT software is used to meet high-volume, real-time data movement demands while maintaining compliance requirements across file transfer protocols.

For large organizations, an MFT server like JSCAPE by Redwood becomes critical for proactive risk management and aggressive cost considerations. It helps control unpredictable MFT pricing and ballooning internal costs related to MFT personnel and infrastructure through its clear, non-variable pricing.
