Abstract

Managed File Transfer (MFT) and Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) are known to be critical secure file transfer technologies. While both ensure data security, they cater to different use cases and offer distinct features. MFT provides comprehensive management and automation, while SFTP focuses on secure and straightforward file transfers. This article examines the differences, considers their unique features, and discusses why companies mandate LDAP authentication between internal applications due to security attacks.
