Automate CIFS/SMB File Share Transfers (UNC Paths) with Progress Automate MFT

Transform shared folder workflows into governed, monitored and managed file transfer automation.

What the CIFS Endpoint Integration Enables

CIFS endpoints in Progress Automate MFT let you orchestrate file workflows to and from Windows network shares using UNC path automation. For organizations using CIFS/SMB shares for critical business operations files (batch exports, ERP drops, partner handoffs and more), Automate MFT adds modern security and governance, centralized visibility and a simple point-and-click automation builder.

Typical CIFS/SMB Automation Use Cases

Application Handoff

Land exports from operational systems and move into downstream systems on a regular schedule

Inbound File Processing

Pull files from a shared drive or Windows file share and transform, compress/decompress or encrypt/decrypt before routing to another internal endpoint

Multi-Site Operations

Standardize file drop patterns across plants, branches and locations while centralizing visibility and control

How Automate MFT Works with CIFS Endpoints

1 Configure

Create a reusable CIFS authentication method in Automate MFT using the CIFS username and password

2 Connect

Add the CIFS endpoint to the Automate MFT library. Provide the UNC path, configure the connection timeout and select the pre-defined CIFS authentication method

3 Orchestrate

Use the endpoint as a source or destination in tasks across your managed file transfer automation workflows

4 Run

Agents execute the task on schedule or on demand

5 Audit

Monitor results with centralized logs and operational controls
