We are pleased to announce the latest release of SFTPPlus version 3.28.0.

The security and automation of file transfers has become easier for all enterprises – large and small - to use and integrate with the release of the latest version of SFTPPlus MFT.

SFTPPlus MFT is a software suite for managed file transfer (MFT) with Client and Server that may be licensed and used as standalone modules or together as a MFT solution. SFTPPlus MFT provides functionality to automate file transfers between systems, users inside an organization and with third-parties. The software is designed to work on major operating systems including Windows, Linux and UNIX. SFTPPlus MFT supports the most popular file transfer protocols like FTPS, SFTP, HTTPS and WebDAV and provides external authentication support, integration with built-in and external logging solutions and audit functionality. SFTPPlus MFT also integrates with external encryption solutions and offers an API for third-party integrations.

SFTPPlus MFT suite has become the main product of the company which is continuously developed and supported using automated tests, high-quality assurance and documentation. Security, correctness, functionality and performance as well as integration support and no vendor lock-in are key requirements of SFTPPlus MFT.

Tim Adams, Director, said “We have found an increasing demand from customers who do not want vendor lock-in with proprietary protocols and prefer a solution that can be quickly installed to use basic functions and are then delighted to find the extra functions that are typically only available with high cost solutions. Part of our mission has always been to make high end functionality available with a cost-effective and affordable product.”

New features and functionality have been added – in many cases this is driven by customer requests as well as market needs – and includes those required due to changes in FIPS, PCI and other security standards.

A new website has been launched at sftpplus.com which has added new pricing and discount information to ensure new customers can quickly find information they need and access further information through trials and documentation. Discounts are not only available for larger deployments but also for small companies in order to encourage and enable best practice for every enterprise of any size.

Tim Adams, Director, said “We encourage new customers to take a free, supported trial to see the ease with which the software can be installed and used in order to explore the rich functionality and features. Our consultants will be happy to help with best practice and discuss integration, if required. We are always pleased to work with companies of all sizes where needs may be a single Server or Client as well as with large enterprises and government where needs may be for an enterprise wide solution that requires integration with other systems.”

Adi Roiban, CTO, said “We have listened carefully to customers who are keen to use open standards and require a solution that helps ensure security of data while enabling many options for automation and authentication. Our larger customers need a product that can be integrated with existing workflow and other systems and can also be installed on multiple operating systems.”

“Key to our success has been our team of developers and support specialists who ensure that SFTPPlus MFT fits customer needs whether on legacy systems or latest technology and they will assist, if required, with use of features and best practice as well as help with integration.”

“We see increasing demands due to changing requirements to meet FIPS, PCI and other security standards. We work closely with customers to ensure that current and future needs are met in a timely way with functionality that is based on the RFC and specific standards as well as particular integration or other use.”
