Managed File Transfer (MFT) has become an essential component of secure data exchange for businesses. Whether you are transferring sensitive financial information, confidential customer data, or critical intellectual property, selecting the right MFT solution is crucial. The security of your data and the trustworthiness of the solution are paramount considerations. Given recent breaches that have affected several MFT solutions, we will discuss important security criteria that should be considered.

By default, SFTP (SSHfile transfer protocol) uses port number 22, but can be configured to listen on ports other than port 22.

SFTP only requires one port for moving data over an internet connection, making SFTP more secure and easier to use than other file-sharing protocols, such as FTP/S, which require trading partners to open a range of ports behind their firewalls.

In the tutorial How To Create Custom Trigger Actions we demonstrated how to create custom trigger actions in MFT Server.

In this tutorial we will discuss Functions, how they are used in Triggers, and how to create your own custom Functions using the extensible API provided in MFT Server.

Overview

Triggers are a very powerful feature that allow you to listen for events and respond with actions if conditions are met. For example, whenever a file is uploaded by a certain user you may wish to have this file encrypted and then send an email notification with details of the file transfer.
