Managed File Transfer (MFT)

Managed file transfer (MFT) replaces insecure FTP with enterprise solutions providing encryption, audit trails, automation, and compliance. Legacy FTP transmits data in cleartext—71% of data breaches involve file transfer vulnerabilities. AGM Network secure file transfer implementations achieve AES-256 encryption, SOC 2/HIPAA compliance, and 99.99% transfer reliability.

Protocol Comparison:

  • FTP: Unencrypted, port 21, cleartext credentials (legacy only)
  • FTPS: FTP with TLS/SSL encryption, implicit (port 990) or explicit mode
  • SFTP: SSH File Transfer Protocol, port 22, encrypted authentication/data
  • MFT: Enterprise platforms with workflow automation, monitoring, compliance
