Configuring and Starting MFT Transfer Services

MFT Internet Server supports the following incoming file transfer protocols:

  • HTTP/HTTPS

  • FTP/FTPS

  • SSH (SFTP)

  • Platform Server

  • AS2

  • OFTP2

HTTPS transfers are handled by the Application Server HTTP or HTTPS connectors. HTTP or HTTPS transfers are enabled by default. Note that the HTTP protocol is disabled by default. Hence, clients must use HTTPS.

Incoming AS2 requests use the HTTP or HTTPS protocol but you must still configure the MFT AS2 Server for AS2 transfers to work. See Configuring AS2 Transfers for more information.

The other protocols must be configured and the service must be started. This document will explain in detail how to get the SSH (SFTP) service configured and started. Later in this document, we will explain the steps needed to configure and start FTP and Platform Server transfer services.

Note: In this document, the term SSH refers to the term SFTP.
