What is Managed File Transfer (MFT)?
• Wikipedia defines managed file transfer (MFT) as “software solutions that secure the transfer of data from one computer to another through a network (e.g. The Internet) . MFT solutions are often built using the FTP network protocol. However, the term specifically describes solutions that remedy the disadvantages of FTP.
• In simpler terms, MFT helps businesses that rely on the reliable transfer of files among internal or external parties.
