GoAnywhere MFT: the duct tape in your IT Toolbox
11 Sept 2025
There are few modern inventions more versatile than duct tape. It can patch a leaky pipe, hold together a broken car bumper, or even fashion a makeshift wallet.Â
GoAnywhere Managed File Transfer (MFT) is to enterprise data workflows what duct tape is to the physical world: a versatile inclusion in your IT toolbox, which you’ll find useful in a pinch, and in all kinds of unexpected ways.Â
GoAnywhere MFT quietly binds together the jagged edges of digital infrastructure. It secures, automates, and streamlines file transfers across disparate systems—whether you're dealing with legacy mainframes, cloud APIs, or finicky partner protocols. Â
Reliable Under PressureÂ
Duct tape earned its reputation by reliably working under pressure, across materials, without drama. GoAnywhere MFT operates in a similar spirit: it’s the IT team's go-to when compliance deadlines loom, when FTP scripts fail at 2 a.m., or when a new vendor insists on AS2 transfers with custom encryption. Â
It may be not flashy, but it’s indispensable—quietly enforcing governance, logging every transaction, and adapting to whatever format the situation demands.Â
Just as importantly, both duct tape and GoAnywhere MFT are trusted because they scale to the size of the problem. You can use a strip of duct tape to seal a lunchbox or wrap an entire canoe. Likewise, GoAnywhere can handle a single secure upload or orchestrate thousands of transfers across hybrid environments, all while maintaining audit trails and access controls. Â
In a world of IT that’s increasingly complex and interconnected, having a tool on hand that’s both rugged and adaptable isn’t just useful—it’s essential. And that’s why so many IT departments choose to keep GoAnywhere MFT handy.Â
