Managed File Transfer
Managed File Transfer (MFT) — Enables the transfer of files between systems or between companies in a reliable and auditable manner. Common features include high-throughput data transfer (including automatic compression), checkpoint restart (to resume file transfer after a connection has been interrupted), and security features such as encryption. File transfers can be initiated via a scheduler, a UI, or via file watchers that monitor a file system or via APIs.
