What is MFTPlus?

Welcome to MFTPlus — Managed File Transfer, reimagined for modern DevOps workflows. Lightweight, secure, and audit-ready without the enterprise baggage.

What is MFTPlus?

MFTPlus is the first file transfer tool built specifically for DevOps workflows. Unlike legacy MFT solutions that require expensive central servers, MFTPlus runs as a standalone desktop agent that gives you enterprise-grade features in a ~5MB package.

• Lightweight: No central server required. Runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
• Secure: AES-256-GCM encryption with restrictive file permissions.
• Scheduled: Cron-based job scheduling for automated transfers.
• Audit-Ready: Built-in SQLite logging for compliance requirements.
• Multi-Protocol: SFTP, FTP, FTPS, and local file transfers.

Key Features

Desktop Agent, Not Server

Unlike traditional MFT solutions that require a complex central server deployment, MFTPlus runs as a lightweight desktop agent. Deploy in minutes, not months.

Multi-Protocol Support

Transfer files using SFTP, FTP, FTPS, or local filesystem operations — all from a unified interface.

Scheduled Transfers

Set up automated file transfer jobs using familiar cron syntax. Full execution history and retry logic included.

Enterprise Security

Your encryption keys are stored in protected files at ~/.config/mftplus/certificates/ with restrictive permissions (600). Keys never leave your machine.

Built-in Audit Trail

Every transfer is logged to a local SQLite database with SHA-256 checksums. Perfect for compliance audits and troubleshooting.

Cross-Platform

Built with Tauri and Rust for native performance on all major platforms. No JVM, no Electron bloat.
