Managed file transfer
open-in-new
<p> Managed file transfer (MFT) is a technology that provides the <a href="/facts/Secure_transmission/CHQdPv70">secure transfer of data</a> in an efficient and reliable manner. MFT software is marketed to companies as a more secure alternative to using insecure protocols like <a href="/facts/FTP/THuWgzfw">FTP</a> (file transfer protocol) and <a href="/facts/HTTP/TWtvf7JD">HTTP</a> to transfer files. By using an MFT solution, companies can avoid custom scripting and meet compliance requirements. </p>
