Managed File Transfer
Definition
A Managed File Transfer (MFT) application is a software product that provides organizations
with a complete solution to their file transfer needs. Managed File Transfer allows a company to
move files internally within and externally outside the organization. MFT differs from basic file
transfer products in that Managed File Transfer solutions offer a higher degree of control, visibility,
automation and integration with other business processes. Also a Managed File Transfer solution offers
a higher level of document security and can typically handle a higher volume of file transfers.
Thus, MFT can be described as a comprehensive business file transfer solution versus an ad hoc software product.
