What is Fortra's GoAnywhere MFT?

Fortra's GoAnywhere MFT is a secure file transfer solution that automates and encrypts data using industry standard protocols (e.g. OpenPGP, SFTP, HTTPS). With auditing and reporting, GoAnywhere can help organizations meet compliance regulations like PCI DSS and HIPAA.

GoAnywhere can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud. As a VMware-validated product, it also runs in several virtualized environments including VMware, Amazon AWS, and Microsoft Azure. GoAnywhere exchanges batch and ad-hoc file transfers, executes tasks before and/or after transfers, and gives users and partners a secure way to exchange data. The vendor provides MFTaaS deployment to give users an easy way to transfer files while Fortra takes care of the setup, infrastructure management, and backups, all for an expected flat fee.

Go Anywhere is perfect for moving data between systems. It is great for pulling data and emailing it or sending it to another server. However, Go Anywhere is limited as an ETL tool. It is not good for large datasets. When we had to move millions of rows from one server to another, it totally choked.

We are getting a file from our trading partners. I connect to their Mainframe (IBM Z) and download file. Before I send the file to final destination to our Lawson server, I need to find and replace trailing spaces. Since Mainframe print character and Windows are different, I use GoAnywhere automated task to replace and it works really great. I saw over 5,000 entries completed in 4 secs.

Sometimes renaming a simple file name can be difficult.

This product is suitable to any aspect where a user may need to look at creating projects to support the organization's need to work. Mostly in my experience it is sending files via SFTP, AWS, or cleaning old data files on a schedule based on time frame.

GoAnywhere MFT is well suited for:
  1. Automated batch processing.
  2. Implementing secure file transfer servers (FTP, SFTP, FTPS, HTTPS), with the ability to tune the security options you want to use (ciphers suite, certificates, etcetera) and to manage the permissions for the users (individually or by assigning user to groups).
  3. Managing encryption keys, SSL certificates and SSH keys easily.
  4. Protocol translation.
  5. Build frameworks for file transfer and automatic reprocess.
Although MFT have useful file transformation tools, we chose to do them in our Enterprise Service Broker (IIB).

GoAnywhere is well suited for a number of scenarios. It is wonderful at automating jobs to run and for file movement capabilities. That is primarily what we use it for and it has saved us a lot of time and effort. I have not used this piece of the software, but I hear that it is also very good at doing parsing and interpretation of different data types such as X12.

  • Very useful when you need to transfer files on a daily schedule and in repeatable sequence.
  • Solves the need to use other software to encrypt or decrypt files. It allows the use of executing commands.
  • The library allows you to input multiple steps in your process as if you were creating a program to execute your specific needs.
  • If you have the time to deploy, you will not be disappointed, but if you are in a time constraint, the deployment of your system can be challenging to stand up. The platform itself is easy to install, but the projects can take time to create appropriately.

GA MFT is excellent for secure transfers to/from our vendors. We can either connect out to their FTP platform or they can connect to us. File transfers are secure and with the ability to send out Success or Failure notifications internally and/or to the client. Specifically, we can query an in-house SQL database, create a file (txt, xls, etc.) to send the results to our vendor.

If your organization was similar to ours where you are using CuteFTP, WINSCP, Bat Files, VBScripts, Perl Scripts, Access Database Macros, and Windows scheduled tasks to move files around then you need to get GoAnywhere. GoAnywhere has a robust feature set that can automate the most complex workflows easily. For example you can extract data from a SQL database, export the data to an Excel spreadsheet, save the file with a new file name; adding a time stamp to the end. PGP encrypt the Excel file; [add] SFTP to an outside vendor all in a single executable task.
