webMethods.io MFT
File exchange is messy, MFT cleans that up
While cutting-edge technologies like microservices, IoT and RPA get lots of press, behind the scenes, many critical transactions—contracts, confirmations, orders and more - still rely on an essential but often neglected tool: file transfer. In a data-driven world, file transfer is still an integral part of how businesses interact with partners, suppliers and customers. While some organizations are still sticking to the status quo, the market is seeing a big shift from traditional protocols—such as FTP, HTTP, SFTP—to more secure and governed file transfer solutions that meet today’s market needs.
webMethods.io MFT is an extension of the on-premises webMethods ActiveTransfer and brings Managed File Transfer to the cloud as part of the webMethods.io iPaaS. This simple and intuitive tool for managed file transfer helps companies quickly and securely transfer files of any size in a secure, governed and encrypted cloud-based platform. Using webMethods.io MFT, organizations can speed up onboarding, time to market and value for a mission-critical file.

webMethods.io MFT manages all file transfer mechanisms irrespective of the protocol and supports all common file transfer protocols such as FTP, FTPS SFTP, SCP, HTTP, HTTPS, SMB, WebDAV and WebDAVs.
Amazon and Azure support
File transfer support is now possible between ActiveTransfer and cloud-based storage vendors. Both Amazon® S3 and Azure storage are supported. Administrators can configure S3 and Azure as the source or destination of files and can easily specify those folders similar to how local file system or remote folders are specified today.

The restart capability available both from a server and client perspective will automatically resume file transfers when interrupted—picking up from where they left off.
