MFT FTPS Server

File Transfer Protocol over SSL (FTPS) is an extension to FTP. It uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) cryptographic protocols to encrypt traffic.

FTPS allows encryption of both the control and data channel connections, either concurrently or independently.

MFT provides FTPS services mainly for customers who often require it when they are working with legacy applications or hardware that exclusively support FTPS.

info

MFT FTPS Servers operate over Port 21 for the Control Channel and the port range 28000–30000 for the Data Channel.

To create an MFT FTPS Server endpoint:

  1. Click Organizations.
  2. Select an organization.
  3. Click Endpoints.
  4. Click Add Endpoint.
  5. Enter the name in the Endpoint Name field.
  6. Select the MFT FTPS Server protocol from the Type drop-down.
  7. Enter a description for the endpoint.
  8. Note the example Public Url to connect to the MFT FTPS Server.
  9. Click the Save button.

After integrating the endpoint type into a flow, users can create user accounts directly from the Flow Endpoint.

caution

All inbound IP addresses connecting to MFT's FTPS services must be allowlisted. For more information, refer to the IP allowlisting.
