CFT File Transfer
**CFT-1 to CFT-7** is a suite of protocols primarily used within enterprise environments to facilitate secure and reliable file transfers, especially in distributed systems. Managed File Transfer (MFT) solutions leveraging CFT enable automation, integrity checks, and streamlined integration with existing IT workflows, ensuring critical files are exchanged efficiently..
CFT stands for Cross File Transfer, a proprietary suite of protocols/products by Axway intended for use in Managed File Transfer (MFT) scenarios. The port range 1762 typically corresponds to dedicated endpoints and services deployed across the CFT software stack, enabling multiple concurrent channels and differentiated workflow management.
CFT protocols facilitate point-to-point and point-to-multipoint file exchanges, automating file movements with features like security checks, file validation, audit logging, and notification capabilities. They can operate over both TCP and UDP, supporting flexibility across different network topologies and transfer requirements.
The typical deployment involves integration with enterprise resource planning, data warehousing, and other backend systems. The standardized use of these ports allows IT administrators to structure firewall rules and monitoring tools effectively, maintaining workflow continuity while granting granular access.
