Control-M MFT Configuration

Control-M Managed File Transfer (MFT) is an FTP/SFTP client and server that enables you to watch and transfer files from a local host to an Agentless Host, an Agentless Host to a local host, or an Agentless Host to another Agentless Host. Control-M for MFT enables you to perform the following administrative tasks in the Configuration domain:

• Create, update, delete, test, and copy connection profiles, as described in Creating a Centralized Connection Profile.

• Configure MFT Client and Server parameters, as described in File Transfer Server.

• Generate SSH keys, which enables the SFTP client to authenticate itself to the SFTP server instead of using a password, as described in Generating SSH Keys.

• Authorize an SSH host when the SSH server’s signature changes, which ensures that you connect to the correct SFTP server to avoid MFT job failures, as described in Authorizing an SSH Host.

• Create, update, copy, and delete PGP templates, which enable you to define PGP commands using your own PGP application to integrate with Control-M for MFT for each transfer, as described in PGP Template Management.

• Create, update, copy, and delete z/OS templates, which enable you to define z/OS file transfer parameters, as described in Creating a z/OS File Template.
