GoAnywhere MFT Agents are lightweight applications that work to automate your file transfers and workflows on systems (both remote and on-premises) throughout your enterprise.
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
GoAnywhere MFT is a secure managed file transfer (MFT) solution that automates and encrypts file transfers with a centralized, enterprise-level approach.
GoAnywhere Agents helps you:
- Control agents remotely from the central server
- Process files on the agent or send them to GoAnywhere for further processing
- Deploy remote agents wherever they're needed: on a server, to a trading partner location, or in the cloud
- Automatically upgrade agents to the latest version without causing downtime
- Customize your software library of agent installers to fit the needs of your environment
As an industry-leading, innovative MFT solution, GoAnywhere and GoAnywhere Agents can help reduce costs, improve file transfer quality, and help organizations comply with data transfer standards and regulations.

What do you like best about the product?
I had the opportunity to evaluate GoAnywhere MFT through a trial license provided by the GoAnywhere sales team after a short call to discuss my use case. The setup was smooth and straightforward, with clear documentation that made implementation easy even for a first-time user. I explored the platform for almost 1 month, including an extended period to complete my evaluation and a short proof of concept (POC) for secure data transfer scenarios.
During my evaluation, I frequently used GoAnywhere for testing various workflows and integrations. I explored several key capabilities — Advanced Workflows, secure file transfers (SFTP/FTPS/HTTPS), user management, encryption, scheduling and detailed audit reporting. The interface felt intuitive, making it simple to build, automate and monitor workflows from a single dashboard.
One thing that really stood out was the Cloud Connector Marketplace. I installed the Salesforce Connector directly from within the platform and it took less than five minutes — no external downloads or complex setup required. Everything is managed within the environment, which makes it extremely convenient. There are also many other connectors available for applications like AWS, Jira, Trello and Google Cloud Storage, expanding integration possibilities significantly.
The customer support experience was excellent. The team was quick to respond whenever I encountered an issue and even extended my trial period to ensure I could complete my testing comfortably.
Overall, GoAnywhere MFT provides an impressive mix of security, automation and integration features. My hands-on experience gave me a clear understanding of its capabilities and how it can support our future requirements for secure and automated data movement across systems.
