FTP

GoAnywhere can connect to both standard FTP servers and secure FTP servers using SFTP (FTP over SSH) and FTPS (FTP over SSL) protocols.  FTP/SFTP/FTPS servers can be pre-defined in GoAnywhere's Administrator as reusable Resources which can then be selected from simple drop down menus.

FTP Tasks can be placed within GoAnywhere Projects and executed as part of a cohesive process.  For instance, a Project could be defined to retrieve records from a database file, convert the records into a CSV file, and then put the CSV file onto a FTP server.
GoAnywhere provides comprehensive FTP features to satisfy enterprise requirements.

File Filtering
When getting or putting files via FTP, the files selected can be included and excluded using various filter criteria:
  • Wildcards (i.e. "trans*.txt" or "*.xls")
  • Date and time range
  • Size range
FTP Logs
FTP logs are generated for all FTP transmissions in GoAnywhere.  The level of log detail can be controlled by the user on a per-Project basis.
 
GoAnywhere can be installed onto IBM System i, Windows, Linux and UNIX platforms.  System i is also referred to as iSeries, as400, as/400 and i5.
