FTP Automation
Streamline workflows with event-based automated file transfer actions
Take control of MFT server management with file transfer automation
SolarWinds® Serv-U® Managed File Transfer (MFT) Server is built to support automated file transfer management by offering event-driven automation to help you save time and resources.
The Serv-U control center is designed to allow you to more easily set server, domain, user, and group events to trigger specific actions without needing to get bogged down in lines of code.
Move files to other folders based on file name, size, and other attributes
Serv-U is designed to offer several safe file sharing options that can allow you to manage file transfers more easily from a centralized platform.
For example, Serv-U MFT Server can allow you to automatically move files to new locations based on customized criteria, including file name, size, and other attributes.
Perform automated tasks in response to triggers and filters
Serv-U MFT Server is designed to allow you to configure event-based commands more easily by setting the parameters for how an action should be triggered using Executable Path and Command Line Parameters in your Serv-U dashboard. You can also set up event-based triggers to perform functions like running new programs, creating logs, and invoking custom provisioning scripts when users are added or removed. Additionally, you can add filters to events you want to trigger only when the filter is met.
Get alerts and write Windows Event Log messages for custom events
Serv-U MFT Server is designed to help you stay on top of on unusual file activity with the ability to trigger real-time notifications and balloon tip alerts. Using custom event criteria, you can establish which events to generate alerts for and which events to post file server events to Windows Event Log or Microsoft Message Queue (MSMQ).
Monitor server logs for troubleshooting and compliance reporting
Collecting server logs for documentation and reporting purposes are key components of effective MFT server management of web-based file transfers.
Serv-U MFT is built to generate logs that can offer you a way to more easily troubleshoot errors and demonstrate compliance with industry security audits. Additionally, you can use Serv-U generated logs in log management and SIEM tools like SolarWinds Security Event Manager for additional analysis, troubleshooting, and reporting.

What is an automated FTP server?
An automated FTP server can allow you to configure which events—such as successful file transfers, file transfer failures, sign ons, and server startups—should trigger to kick off additional events.
