Everything Legacy MFT Does, Without The Servers Or Specialists
One cloud platform for every way your business moves files: system to system, partner to partner, and person to person.
AS2 & EDI, Handled For You
Trade files with partners over AS2 and EDI, with the certificates and delivery receipts (MDNs) managed for you. So onboarding a trading partner stops being a setup project that needs a specialist.
See AS2 & EDI
Automation Without Code
Route each file to the right place by partner, type, or time, and start a job the moment a file lands or on a schedule. Set the rule once, and never route a file by hand again.
See AutomationsFailed Transfers Fix Themselves
Every transfer is logged. When an automated transfer fails, Files.com retries it and alerts you in real time. So nothing slips through, and you hear about a problem before your partner does.

Retire Your FTP Server Without Breaking Your Workflows
Still running your own FTP server? You can shut it down for good. Every SFTP, FTPS, and FTP client, every old script, and every partner connection keeps working. It all runs on Files.com now, with cloud scale, uptime, and security you don't have to manage.
Your Clients, Scripts, And Partners Don't Change
Point your existing SFTP, FTPS, and FTP connections at Files.com and they keep working exactly as before. No rewrites, no migration project, nothing for your partners to notice.
See The Switch GuideAccess Control Bare FTP Can't Give You
Decide who reaches which folders, person by person, backed by your company login (SSO) and required two-factor sign-in (MFA). So shutting down the old server tightens your security instead of risking it.

Replacing A Legacy MFT Vendor?
Files.com is the modern, cloud-based replacement for the MFT products IT teams have been running since the 2000s. Here’s how it stacks up against the three we’re asked about most:
Files.com Vs. Fortra GoAnywhere MFT
A Java application sold per-module. Workflow, AS2, GoFast, Secure Mail, and GoDrive are each licensed separately. Three critical CVEs in 32 months, including CVE-2025-10035 at CVSS 10.0, exploited by Medusa ransomware a week before public disclosure. Files.com wins on: one platform, one license, all in the cloud, with pricing you can see and a 7-day free trial you can start yourself.
Compare Head-To-HeadFiles.com Vs. Progress MOVEit
Windows Server + .NET + IIS + SQL Server, hosted on customer-dedicated Azure VMs as "MOVEit Cloud." Two critical CVEs in 13 months; the 2023 zero-day alone exposed data on more than 90 million individuals. Files.com wins on: one cloud platform that handles both system-to-system transfers and people sharing files, under a single license.
Compare Head-To-HeadFiles.com Vs. Axway SecureTransport
A 2003-era enterprise file-transfer product with five surrounding modules (SecureTransport + Central Governance + Sentinel + Transfer CFT + B2Bi) and a per-customer specialist requirement. Files.com wins on: one platform that does the same job, run by us, with no specialist to hire or keep on staff.
Compare Head-To-HeadTwo Of The Big Four Legacy MFT Vendors Have Been Mass-Exploited Since 2023
In 2023, a ransomware gang called Cl0p found a security hole in MOVEit, broke into more than 2,700 organizations, and stole data on more than 90 million people. The fallout: 240+ class-action lawsuits, consolidated into a single federal case.
Cl0p also hit GoAnywhere in 2023, exposing 130+ organizations. In 2025, GoAnywhere had another hole rated 10.0 out of 10.0, the most severe rating possible. The Medusa ransomware gang was already using it a week before Fortra publicly admitted it existed.
The pattern is the same. Every legacy MFT customer runs the same software on their own servers. When attackers find a way in, they have a list of thousands of targets to hit. Every one runs the same product, and every one is exposed at the same moment.
Files.com has run for 15+ years with zero breaches. Our platform doesn't expose a per-customer server for attackers to find.

See Enterprise Support“Our previous solution was on-prem, so we had to allow a third-party vendor onto our entire network. With Files.com that isn't the case — everything is handled at the cloud-based level, whether it's inbound or outbound.”
Nelson Miranda
Sr. Systems Engineer, Spirit Airlines
“Files.com just works. User maintenance is a non-issue with auto deprovisioning, and connecting with external partners has gotten dramatically simpler.”
Javier Sullivan
Senior Manager of IT Production & Product Development, Marc Jacobs
“We use Files.com for automated SFTP transfers with our trading partners. The automation lets us handle every partner's quirks without writing custom code.”

Managed File Transfer FAQ
The questions IT teams ask when they weigh Files.com against legacy managed file transfer.
Managed file transfer (MFT) is software for moving files between people, systems, and trading partners, and Files.com is a modern MFT platform that runs in the cloud. MFT adds the protocols (SFTP, FTP, AS2), encryption, access control, audit logging, and automation that a plain FTP server can’t give you. MFT started in the early 2000s, when companies outgrew bare FTP servers, and now covers everything from internal automation to B2B and EDI exchange to one-off file sharing. Files.com pioneered what MFT grew into: the File Orchestration Platform.
The main MFT vendors are Files.com and the legacy four: IBM Sterling, Progress MOVEit, Fortra GoAnywhere, and Axway SecureTransport. The legacy products were designed for the on-prem enterprise era of the 2000s. Files.com is the cloud-native alternative, used by 4,000+ companies including Equifax, Rag & Bone, Cognizant, Michelin, and TowneBank.
Files.com runs in the cloud and is operated by us, with pricing you can see, a 7-day free trial you can start yourself, and hands-on migration help from our US-based engineering team. Legacy MFT was built to run on servers you own and patch, behind a fixed network perimeter, set up by a paid services team, and sold through a sales rep who quotes you a price. The old way doesn’t match how IT teams run file transfer today.
Files.com publishes its pricing. The legacy vendors don’t publish theirs at all. Every Enterprise deal is priced to your actual workload. If you have a competing GoAnywhere, MOVEit, Axway, Globalscape, Sterling, or OpenText quote in hand, bring it. Contact Sales and Files.com will not be undersold.
When a legacy MFT product has a critical CVE, every customer is exposed at the same moment, and that is the risk Files.com’s architecture removes. Each customer runs the same software on their own servers, so they all scramble to patch at once. CVE-2023-34362 hit 2,700+ MOVEit customers and exposed data on more than 90 million people; CVE-2023-0669 hit 130+ GoAnywhere customers; CVE-2025-10035 was being used by the Medusa ransomware gang a week before Fortra even admitted it existed. With Files.com there’s no copy of the software sitting on your servers for an attacker to break into. We patch our platform centrally, before any customer is at risk, which is why patch latency is the legacy vendors’ problem and not ours. 15+ years of operation, zero breaches.
MFT stands for managed file transfer. MFT software is the platform that moves files between systems and trading partners on a schedule or a trigger, over SFTP, FTPS, AS2, and HTTPS, with the encryption, access control, retries, and audit trail that a bare file server and a folder of custom scripts leave to you. Files.com is MFT software delivered as a managed file transfer service in the cloud, so the server, the patching, and the uptime are ours to run, and every automation is configured in a browser instead of written in code.
Files.com managed file transfer starts at $199 a month for Starter and $499 a month for Power, with every protocol included and no per-protocol or per-connection surcharge; Enterprise is priced to the workload. Every tier and overage price is published. Legacy MFT vendors sell per module and per server and quote through a sales rep, so a like-for-like comparison usually needs their quote in hand.
Files.com can replace legacy MFT outright or run alongside it while you migrate. Most teams cut over fully, because Files.com covers the protocols, automation, and partner exchange a legacy MFT platform handled, so nothing is left for the old product to do. When a phased move is safer, the Files.com Agent runs Files.com next to the existing system over an outbound-only connection, so you move workloads across at your own pace and keep the legacy path live until each one is proven.
Files.com supports SFTP, FTPS, FTP, and WebDAV, plus HTTPS and a full REST API. Every protocol lands in the same folders, under the same permissions and the same audit log. AS2 with MDN receipts covers EDI trading-partner exchange.
Most migrations from GoAnywhere or MOVEit to Files.com move the first workload in days, not months. A Files.com Customer Engineer maps the existing protocols, users, SSO, and scheduled jobs, then moves workloads across in phases while the legacy system stays live. There is no separate professional-services contract to sign.
Give each system a service account and a folder on Files.com. The sending system drops its export over SFTP or the API on its schedule, an Automation renames and routes it, and the receiving system collects it from its own folder or has it delivered to its SFTP endpoint. Neither system learns about the other, and the hop is logged end to end.
Yes. The Files.com Agent runs inside your network and connects outbound to Files.com, so a file that lands on Files.com from a cloud system is written to the internal server without an inbound firewall rule, a VPN, or a DMZ host.
