01
Understanding file exchange
We list systems, partners, data types, schedules and current problems. We agree how the business recognises successful completion.
File exchange
Secure file exchange — MFT
We organise recurring file exchange with business partners and between systems. We deploy an MFT platform and configure access, schedules and notifications. We test successful transfers as well as error handling.
Trusted by
Companies and institutions that need stable IT.
Did the important file arrive on time?
An accounting report, payroll file or order may fail to arrive even when a script has run. We help establish what is sent, who receives it and who responds to an error. Managed File Transfer brings that exchange under management: from access rights and schedules to checking the outcome and handling problems.
Services supporting data exchange
The project may need access, network or monitoring changes. Additional work is included in the agreed scope before transfers go live.

System maintenance, updates and agreed platform support after deployment.ISO 27001 · TÜV NORD Polska
TÜV NORD Polska has certified Virtline’s information security management system to PN-EN ISO/IEC 27001:2023-08. The published certificate states its scope and validity.

We migrate an agreed pilot process first. Other transfers go live after their recipients have taken part in testing.
02
Design and configuration
We select the platform, connection model and access rules. We prepare accounts, certificates, schedules and error handling.
03
Pilot and cutover
We test a selected transfer with its recipient, including failure scenarios. Further processes move at agreed times with a documented rollback approach.
04
Acceptance and maintenance
We provide results, instructions and outstanding tasks. We agree monitoring, updates, partner support and conditions for retiring old channels.
Practical scope
What we hand over after MFT deployment
The result includes configured transfers, completed tests and clear responsibilities for ongoing operation.
Sources, recipients, deadlines and people responsible for file exchange. For each old process, we record what was migrated, what remains and what can be retired with the business’s agreement.
Agreed partner accounts, permissions, keys and certificates. Encryption and connection arrangements are selected for the platform and the other party’s requirements.
We check file delivery, connection failure and agreed retry behaviour. We confirm alert recipients and rules intended to prevent uncontrolled duplicates when a transfer is repeated.
Configuration, access reviews, updates and record-retention arrangements. We agree error response, key changes and the addition of new partners.
Match the platform to the transfers
If you are considering GoAnywhere, MOVEit, Cleo, Axway or IBM Sterling, we compare specific versions, modules, protocols, maintenance needs and costs. SFTP, HTTPS, AS2 or other connection support must also be confirmed with the partner. Buying MFT alone does not establish correct configuration or regulatory compliance. Operations include agreed monitoring of vendor security advisories, patch deadlines and restricted administrative console access.
File exchange questions
How is MFT different from SFTP?
+
SFTP defines a way to transfer files. An MFT platform can also manage accounts, jobs, schedules, event records and error handling. Features depend on the solution and modules; not every transfer requires a large platform.
Can existing scripts be migrated?
+
We start with their inputs, recipients, rules and dependencies. We identify which jobs can be reproduced on the platform and which need separate integration. After checking the new process, we agree with the business when to retire the old channel.
Does deployment require an Internet-facing server?
+
That depends on connection direction and partner requirements. We agree the architecture and whether a separate gateway in a DMZ is needed. Services are not exposed without reviewing required access and protections.
Who responds if a file is not delivered?
+
During deployment, we name alert recipients and people responsible for the process. Virtline can provide ongoing support on agreed terms. Enabling a notification does not itself include round-the-clock response.
Let’s organise file exchange
Tell us which systems and partners exchange files and what currently goes wrong. Include approximate transfer numbers and important deadlines. Do not attach client files, keys or passwords.
