Where file transfer creates risk in your SAP operations

Insecure, fragmented and unreliable file transfer can create compliance risks, operational inefficiencies and integration challenges across critical SAP systems and external partners. Identifying where these risks surface is the first step toward a more reliable file transfer strategy.

  • Security and compliance risks

    Fragmented file transfers can delay business processes, expose audit trail gaps and create security vulnerabilities, which increase the risk of regulatory fines and ransomware breaches.

  • Costly operational complexity

    Legacy and proprietary MFT approaches require costly workarounds or specialized developers that drive up complexity and overhead as your SAP file transfer operations grow and become harder to manage.

  • Performance and scalability bottlenecks

    Multi-gigabyte files and high-volume batch jobs put heavy demands on any integration landscape. Without infrastructure dedicated to file transfer, teams end up splitting files and writing scripts to keep files moving.

  • Protocol support risks after SAP PI/PO end of maintenance

    Organizations still running SAP Process Integration and SAP Process Orchestration for managed file transfer need a validated migration path before mainstream maintenance ends in December 2027, putting existing trading partner connections at risk and driving up costs to maintain your file transfer processes.

SAP Managed File Transfer FAQs

How does managed file transfer work with SAP?

Managed file transfer integrates with SAP ERP systems to automate, secure and monitor the movement of data between SAP and non-SAP systems, trading partners and cloud environments. It replaces manual file handling with governed, auditable file transfer workflows.

SAP MFT by Redwood supports inbound and outbound file transfers across standard protocols like SFTP, HTTPS and AS2, and can move large files and high volumes of files. It gives SAP environments a validated MFT foundation without custom code or proprietary workarounds.

Can SAP Managed File Transfer migrate SAP PI/PO file transfer processes?

SAP PI/PO has long handled file transfer and B2B integration for SAP ERP environments, but with the end of regular maintenance approaching, organizations using PI/PO for MFT need a validated, cloud-ready alternative that preserves existing file transfer processes without disruption.

For those who rely on SAP PI/PO for managed file transfer, SAP MFT by Redwood provides a standardized migration path by supporting the same file transfer protocols and B2B integration flows on an upgrade-safe, RISE with SAP-ready platform. It connects legacy infrastructure to SAP Cloud ERP without added infrastructure overhead or custom development.

What is SAP MFT?

SAP MFT, or SAP managed file transfer, is the secure, automated movement of files across SAP systems, trading partners and cloud environments using governed file transfer protocols like SFTP, FTP, HTTPS and AS2 with full auditability and compliance controls.

SAP MFT by Redwood extends SAP Integration Suite and SAP Cloud ERP with enterprise-grade MFT capabilities, including encryption, SSH key and certificate management, Zero Trust-aligned security controls and built-in controls to help support PCI DSS and GDPR regulatory requirements without custom code or proprietary constraints.

How does SAP Managed File Transfer support compliance?

SAP MFT by Redwood provides immutable audit logs, encryption and granular access controls with built-in controls to help support regulatory standards, including PCI DSS and GDPR. Extended audit log retention goes beyond standard iPaaS limits to help meet regulatory bodies’ requirements.

The SAP-ready MFT platform applies Zero Trust-aligned security controls, least-privilege permissions and a secure reverse-proxy architecture across every file transfer workflow. These controls are built in, rather than configured separately, to help your SAP environment meet file transfer governance requirements without added complexity.

How does SAP Managed File Transfer integrate with SAP Integration Suite?

SAP Integration Suite supports cloud platform integration and process orchestration across SAP and non-SAP systems, including the ability to run and monitor iFlows that manage data transformation and file exchange. MFT extends these capabilities for high-volume, secure file transfers, supporting standard B2B protocols, inbound protocol listeners and over 100 no-code workflow templates. This gives your SAP Integration Suite environment the file transfer depth it needs without specialized development or proprietary workarounds.
