We have good news for GlobalSCAPE Enhanced File Transfer® Server (EFT Server™) customers out there: the highly anticipated release of EFT Server v6.3 has arrived and it’s better than ever! Whether you are currently using EFT Server for your managed file transfers (MFT) needs or are considering its use, this enhanced version will have you convinced in no time. With the addition of real-time visibility into all file transfers, improved workflow tools, and additional security features, EFT Server has separated itself from the rest of the MFT pack.
Improved visibility is just one of the fantastic upgrades in the latest version of EFT Server. When you’re transferring files among customers and partners, visibility is crucial. Without maintaining exceptional visibility, there is increased room for errors to occur. What may seem like a small hiccup in the file transfer process can cause major problems that, in the long run, can negatively affect your company’s bottom line. Real-time visibility into all file transfers ensures your data is monitored, audited, and reported over the entire lifecycle of the file transfer process. EFT Server administrators and their end users are able to know the status of their file transfer at all times.

You have a few options, but simply dropping a CD or USB drive in the mail just won’t cut it. The mail system can be costly and not very reliable, so heading to the post office is certainly not your best option. One major snow storm that shuts down airports and your document can end up arriving days behind schedule potentially compromising your business.
