What goTransfer is

goTransfer is a managed file transfer system for organizations sending and receiving files with staff, customers or suppliers. The organization installs its server on a Windows Server it controls and adds users through a Windows console. The maker positions it for confidential documents, large files and frequent sharing, including organizations seeking to avoid public transfer servers. It says files are compressed and encrypted with 256 bit AES before transfer from workstation to server. User privileges and transfer logs provide administration and compliance information, while multiple channels are designed to continue transfers unattended over unreliable connections. The server requirement is Windows Server 2003 or higher, and users also need the desktop console. A Windows installer is listed; the Mac version is marked “Coming Soon...”. Professional Server includes a Firebird database, while Business Server can work with SQL Server. Both plans are free for up to five users, with additional licences sold in packs of 25. Professional costs £195 a year per 25 user pack; Business costs £395 a year per 25 user pack.
