Overview
GoAnywhere MFT Agents are managed by a central deployment of GoAnywhere Managed File Transfer (MFT), which allows you to configure and schedule agent file transfers and business processes from an intuitive, browser-based interface.
MFT agents can be installed onto almost any server or workstation where file transfers or workflows need to be performed. This includes Windows, Linux, UNIX, IBM I, and Mac OS systems. For organizations who prefer to perform their file transfers in the cloud, GoAnywhere MFT supports the use of agents remotely in cloud infrastructure such as Amazon EC2 or Microsoft Azure.
GoAnywhere MFT agents support many features to help you meet key IT initiatives in your organization. Here are just a few of the things agents can do:
- Automate and secure file transfers within a centrally managed environment
- Monitor folders on agent systems for new or modified files
- Schedule agent file transfers to run at future dates/times
- Provide additional workflow capabilities such as compression, decompression, data parsing, database integration, PGP encryption and decryption, SFTP and SCP file transfers, and native command execution
- Send email or text message alerts when agent file transfers fail
- Feed audit data to GoAnywhere MFT for central reporting
- Monitor location and status via an interactive agent map
- Deploy automatic notifications if an agent goes offline

Reliable File Transfer with Room for UI Improvement

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I mainly use GoAnywhere MFT to automate and secure file transfers, and I appreciate how it centralizes all our file exchange processes and ensures compliance with security and audit requirements. I find it reliable once everything is set up, and I don't have to worry about whether the files actually moved or if something got stuck halfway. The flexible workflows and the ease of integration with different systems, like SFTP servers, APIs, or cloud storage services, make the setup feel pretty straightforward. I also appreciate the scheduling features and how the software helps me track job statuses and get alerts in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface can feel a bit dated and sometimes it takes too many clicks to find what I need. Some of the more advanced settings also have a learning curve, so it's not always obvious how to set things up the first time. The initial setup was manageable, but not exactly 'plug and play'. Once we started configuring more complex workflows and connections, the learning curve showed up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use GoAnywhere MFT to automate and secure file transfers, centralizing the process, replacing manual steps, and ensuring compliance with security requirements. It solves the problem of difficult tracking and errors by centralizing transfers and ensures files are securely sent on time.
