Fortra Owns Two MFT Products — And Markets The Other One
Globalscape EFT was acquired by Fortra in July 2020. Fortra also owns GoAnywhere, and its MFT marketing, conference presence, and new-customer sales all lead with GoAnywhere. Customers approaching an EFT renewal often hear the migration suggestion from their own rep: move to GoAnywhere.
That path keeps you with the same vendor — and GoAnywhere has had three critical CVEs in 32 months, a security record meaningfully worse than the product you would be leaving. If a migration project is coming either way, the renewal is the moment to shop the whole category rather than trade one appliance for another.
Files.com is our flagship product, with no second MFT platform competing for our investment. A cloud platform we run for you: SFTP, FTP, FTPS, WebDAV, Automations, Inboxes, the on-premise Agent, PGP encryption, and the REST API and seven official SDKs — in one license, with nothing for your team to patch.

Where Files.com Wins
One Platform, Not A Stack Of Modules
SFTP, FTP, FTPS, WebDAV, Automations, Inboxes, Share Links, the on-premise Agent, PGP encryption, custom domain, and the REST API — one product, one license. Globalscape EFT licenses its workflow engine, auditing and reporting, DMZ gateway, and high availability as separate modules.
File Activity Records You Can Trust
A full audit trail on every action, retained 7+ years, searchable from the same screens you use for everything else — so a delivery dispute is a lookup, not a log-digging project.
Files Can Stay On Your Own Storage
The Files.com Agent makes only outbound connections — no inbound firewall rule, no new machine in the DMZ. Clients get a modern managed endpoint; the bytes land on your servers and stay there.
Lift And Shift, Not Rip And Replace
Recreate your folder structure path for path, run the site under your own domain, and point the legacy hostname at it — so counterparty scripts and saved connection details keep working through the cutover.
Published Pricing Transparency
Files.com publishes pricing publicly. Globalscape EFT routes every quote through Fortra sales, with per-module licensing that compounds at renewal.
