Frequently Asked Questions
What is meant by managed file transfer?
Managed file transfer (MFT) refers to the secure and automated exchange of electronic files between internal and external endpoints in the organization. Unlike more traditional methods of file transfer, MFT provides a more reliable and secure method of transferring files.
See what Redwood can do to support your business needs with managed file transfer solutions.
What is managed file transfer automation?
Managed file transfer (MFT) automation enables users to schedule transfers or to trigger transfers based on business events. This makes it possible to incorporate file transfers into automated, end-to-end workflows that run without manual interventions, improving efficiency and eliminating human error.
See why your organization needs to implement workload automation in this whitepaper.
How do I automate a file transfer?
Depending on your requirements and the tools or systems you’re using, there are several ways to automate a file transfer. To automate a file transfer, you need to identify the files to transfer, choose a secure transfer protocol, select an automation tool, configure the tool, set up error handling, create the workflow and monitor the transfer process. These steps can help organizations streamline file transfer processes, reduce manual effort, and improve efficiency.

When should I automate file transfers?
Critical or time-sensitive file transfers should be automated in order to improve efficiency and delivery times while eliminating the risk of human error. Automation is key to achieving scalability as large environments with high-volume file sharing are impossible to manually manage.
What are MFT tools?
Managed file transfer software tools typically offer a centralized platform for managing file transfer needs, and offer features like automation, encryption, and tracking capabilities.
Managed file transfer solutions help organizations ensure the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive data, and enable compliance with regulatory requirements for data privacy and security through secure managed file transfer. These tools also provide greater visibility and control over file transfer activities, setting teams up to detect and respond to potential security threats quickly.
In addition to Redwood RunMyJob workload automation software, some other managed file transfer software tools include IBM MFT, MOVEit, GoAnywhere MFT, and more. Pricing for MFT tools can range depending on a variety of factors.
