Managed File Transfer ​

Workato Managed File Transfer (MFT) is a standards-based, enterprise-grade solution for secure, automated, and scalable file transfers. MFT includes built-in encryption, scheduling, monitoring, and embedded SFTP and FTP(s) servers.

Transfer orchestration ​

File transfers automate file exchanges with built-in processing, scheduling, and error handling. Refer to the following documentation for more information:

File transfers: Define where to pick up and deliver files.

Source file handling: Configure what happens to source files after a successful transfer, including archiving to a folder or deletion.

Processing actions: Configure processing steps such as file renaming and encryption and decryption with PGP.

Schedule transfers: Configure time-based schedules for file transfers using intervals or cron expressions.

Error handling and retries: Configure automatic retry behavior, including maximum retry duration and transfer auto-stop behavior.

Monitor transfer activity: View run history and per-file status.

Workato Logs: View file transfer events across all file transfers.

Triggers: React to file transfer events, such as failed or successful transfer runs, using MFTOps recipe triggers.

File servers ​

File servers provide managed SFTP and FTP(s) endpoints for secure file exchange with partners and systems. Refer to the following documentation for more information:

Workato SFTP server: Connect to encrypted file transfer endpoints at sftp.workato.com. You can create accounts, set folder permissions, and configure authentication with SSH keys or passwords.

Workato FTP(s) server: Connect to systems that require FTP-based file transfer.

Monitor server activity: Track connection attempts, authentication events, file operations, and user activity.
