Spec score 8.4 #9 of 27 in Managed File Transfer Software

What it is

Syncplify AFT! automates file-transfer workflows through SyncJS, an ECMAScript 5.1-based scripting engine with more than 200 file-transfer functions. Scripts use one virtual file system for local files, SFTP, AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, and Google Cloud Storage. Jobs can start on Cron-compatible schedules, filesystem events, or REST API triggers. The library handles CSV and XML parsing, HMAC and PGP operations, SQL, AMQP, HTTP/S, and notifications to Slack, Teams, Telegram, Twilio, and email. AFT! keeps searchable indexed job logs and stores credentials and API keys in an encrypted secrets store for runtime retrieval. It runs on Windows and Linux as a statically linked binary for bare metal, virtual machines, or Docker. A VS Code extension adds language-server features, autocomplete, documentation, and an MCP server. The product costs $99 or VM. A 15-day trial requires no credit card.
