Running GoAnywhere MFT on Linux

GoAnywhere’s intuitive interface and comprehensive workflow features help to eliminate the need for custom programs and scripts, single-function tools and manual processes that were traditionally needed. This innovative Linux MFT solution will reduce costs, improve the quality of file transfers, and help your organization to comply with data security audits, policies and regulations.

GoAnywhere implements FTP alternatives for Linux by providing [secure FTP technology](/content/solutions/secure-ftp "Secure FTP Cornerstone"/index.html) to protect sensitive file transfers. These file transfers are protected by strong encryption technology and modern authentication methods. This will create encrypted tunnels between client and server systems which provides confidentiality and integrity of critical transmissions. GoAnywhere's secure FTP servers for Linux also protect any user credentials that flow over the connection.

Key Features

• LDAP integration for user authentication and synchronization
• Supports running in a chroot jail
• Multi-factor authentication with user IDs, passwords, keys and certificates
• Supports large files with auto-resume and integrity checks to help guarantee delivery

A Customer’s Perspective: Northwestern University

Northwestern University runs GoAnywhere on a Linux 5 server. Here’s what they had to say about the product:

[GoAnywhere is] extremely flexible. It's easy to construct a script-like process without writing any code. Customizing transfers specific to each trading partner takes minutes and is often just a right-click away from being ready for Production. For every project it's helpful.
