In today’s interconnected world, secure and reliable file transfers are vital to business processes. While enterprises have often turned to traditional solutions like File Transfer Protocol (FTP) servers and Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) servers to handle their data transfers, these solutions are no longer capable of meeting current business needs on their own. 

Managed file transfer is a category of solutions that enable secure, centrally managed, regulatory-compliant, automated, reliable and efficient data movement. An MFT solution can support a full range of file transfer needs — from user-initiated file transfers and multi-user file sharing to automated business-to-business (B2B) data exchanges. It’s essentially an all-in-one solution that caters to organizations looking to simplify increasingly complex data transfer workflows.

When your business processes involve large files that need to cross the internet in the fastest way possible, look beyond traditional methods like email or cloud-based file sharing services. These methods fall short of meeting certain business requirements for time-sensitive large file transfers. In many cases, your best option would be a managed file transfer (MFT) solution.

Managed file transfer as a service (MFTaaS) is revolutionizing file transfer workflows by improving efficiency and security while reducing cost and maintenance. Its emergence coincides with businesses seeking to cut expenses, tackle growing cyber threats and meet the demand for streamlined operations. But what exactly is MFTaaS?

Have you heard the exciting news!? Redwood University recently expanded its training resources for JSCAPE by Redwood customers. Whether you're a seasoned user or just getting started, these courses are designed to enhance your expertise and maximize the benefits of the JSCAPE platform.

The file transfer software options available today aren't all created equal. Evaluating solutions based on your organization's needs goes beyond splitting hairs over technical features. The best file transfer solution must significantly enhance your organization’s security and operational efficiency. That’s because when you choose a file transfer provider, you choose who your organization will trust with your most valuable asset: data. As the digital landscape advances, so does the need for seamless automation, rapid data exchange and uncompromising security.

Secure data transfers are pivotal for maintaining a competitive advantage in our swiftly evolving digital landscape. As cybersecurity challenges rise and the shift towards cloud-based ecosystems continues, your strategy for secure data streaming becomes a cornerstone of business operations. It integrates advancements in data security and considers the implications of AI and automation on cybersecurity.

When you first start scouting for the right file transfer protocol for your organization, you’re bound to encounter these two acronyms: SFTP and MFT. SFTP stands for SSH File Transfer Protocol, whereas MFT stands for Managed File Transfer. While SFTP is indeed a protocol, MFT isn’t. Nevertheless, these two acronyms become increasingly intertwined once you explore advanced, secure, automated file transfer solutions.

In response to security incidents which have impacted other managed file transfer (MFT) providers over the past year, Redwood has significantly increased its security posture across all  File Transfer products.
