Endpoints define the remote or local servers that Automate MFT interacts with to perform file transfers. Endpoints serve as the source or destination in automated tasks and are managed through a central library for reuse and management. An endpoint must be explicitly defined and configured before it can be referenced in any task workflow.

Supported endpoint types

Automate MFT supports the following endpoint types:
  • SFTP
  • MOVEit Transfer
  • Local
  • CIFS
  • S3 (AWS)
  • FTPS
  • SMTP
  • ShareFile
  • Azure Blob Storage
  • SharePoint
  • Google Cloud Storage
  • OneDrive

Authentication management

Authentication is handled separately from endpoints. If available, you can choose from a list of defined authentication methods, or you can define a new authentication method during the endpoint setup process, without navigating to a separate configuration area.

Quick view

The Details panel appears on the right side of the interface when an endpoint is selected from the endpoint list. It provides a concise summary of the endpoint details and task usage information.

The Endpoint ID, which is displayed in the Details panel, includes a copy action, allowing you to copy the value directly to the clipboard and use it in custom scripts or other configurations that require an endpoint identifier.
