Managed file transfer (MFT)
Managed file transfer, one piece at a time.
Syncplify gives you managed file transfer as three focused products that work as one. Server! receives files from your partners, R2FS! keeps them on storage inside your network, and AFT! moves them on, on a schedule or the moment something happens. Start with the one you need today; add the others when you need them.
Everything runs on your own servers or cloud account. Nothing passes through ours.
Managed file transfer, in plain words.
MFT is file transfer with the grown-up parts added: security, control, automation and proof. Here's who does what.
Secure transfers
SFTP, FTPS and HTTPS for your partners and users, with Shield blocking attacks in real time and post-quantum key exchange on every protocol.
Files that stay inside
Files land on storage inside your network, never in the DMZ, and no inbound port is ever opened.
Automation
Scheduled and event-driven transfers, written as code you can read, review and keep in version control.
Proof
Signed audit logs in Server!, and a searchable record of every AFT! job, ready for your auditors.
Compliance and audit →Three products, one flow.
- 1 · OutsideTrading partnersConnect over SFTP, FTPS or HTTPS.
- 2 · In your DMZServer!Authenticates, inspects and logs every session, and runs your event scripts.
- 3 · Outbound onlyR2FS!Reaches out to Server! from inside your network, so the firewall stays closed and your storage never faces the internet.
- 4 · At either endAFT!Picks files up and delivers them on: to Amazon S3, Azure or Google Cloud, to a partner's SFTP server, or to the next system in line.
All three speak SyncJS. Learn it once, and the same scripts run in Server!, R2FS! and AFT!.
Or skip the typing. Our free VS Code extension and MCP server let your favorite AI agent, such as GitHub Copilot or Claude Code, write your SyncJS scripts for you, for Server!, R2FS! and AFT! alike.

You don't have to buy MFT all at once.
"We need a secure SFTP server."
Start with Server!. For many of our customers, that's all they ever need.
Explore Server! →"Our security review flagged the DMZ."
Add R2FS!, and the files move back inside your network with no inbound ports.
How R2FS! works →"Our transfers are batch or shell scripts, run by hand or by cron."
Add AFT!, and every one of them becomes a scheduled, logged job you can read, review and keep in version control. Nobody finds out days later that a script broke.

Questions we hear often
What is managed file transfer (MFT)?
Software that moves files between people and systems securely, with control over who can do what, automation of recurring transfers, and a full record of everything that happened.
Do I need all three products?
No. Most customers start with Server! alone, and many never need more. R2FS! and AFT! join in when your security team or your workload asks for them.
Is Syncplify an MFT suite?
Not in the usual sense. It's three focused products that work together, each licensed on its own, so you get MFT without paying for modules you don't use.
Do the products share scripts?
Yes. Server!, R2FS! and AFT! all use SyncJS, so what you learn and write for one works in the others. And with our free MCP server, your AI agent can write those scripts for you.
Does any of it run in Syncplify's cloud?
Server!, R2FS! and AFT! don't: they run on your own servers or cloud account, and your files never pass through Syncplify. If you'd rather not run a file server at all, SFTP.cloud is our hosted SFTP service: we run the part that faces the internet, and your files stay on storage inside your own network.
How is it licensed?
Each product has its own perpetual license, one per machine, with the first year of maintenance and support included. Order two or three products together, or several licenses, and the store discounts the order automatically.
