SFTP Logs

Audit trails (logs) are generated for all SFTP and SCP sessions in GoAnywhere MFT to meet auditing and compliance requirements. This detail includes commands issued, messages, IP addresses, user ids and file names transferred. Log messages can additionally be sent to a SYSLOG server using UDP or TCP connections.

SSH Key Management

Intuitive graphical screens are provided in GoAnywhere MFT to allow for the management of SSH Keys. This Key Manager can be used to create SSH public and private keys, import and export keys, and view keys. Both RSA and DSA key types are supported with key lengths up to 4096 bits.

High Availability Planning with SFTP

When it comes to file transfers, it’s critical that organizations are able to complete them without disruption. Businesses can choose from either active-passive and active-active high availability plans. Active-passive plan failure downtime for trading partners can run from a few seconds to a few hours depending on what how organizations start the passive system. Active-active plan failure downtime is most commonly zero because there is always a backup system that can take over in a moment of system failure. These high availability plans can help organizations minimize and avoid downtime, meet SLAs, and increase user satisfaction.

Standards Support for SFTP Server

The SFTP server in GoAnywhere MFT provides support for the following standards:

GoAnywhere Gateway

GoAnywhere Gateway helps you share essential documents with trading partners, clients, and vendors without storing data in the DMZ. Exchange files without opening inbound ports to your private network, and keep the locations and identities of your internal systems hidden.
