Version 5.5.0

Agents

GoAnywhere Agents provide real-time remote workflow and file transfer capabilities that are controlled from a central GoAnywhere MFT server. Agents can be deployed to virtually any operating system including Windows, Linux, IBM i and other platforms. Agents can run on systems inside an organization’s network to move files throughout the data center. Additionally, you can deploy Agents to remote sites like branch offices, cloud environments like Amazon AWS, Azure, and other remote locations. When an Agent starts up, it will connect to GoAnywhere MFT which will then take over management of that Agent.

Agents can run multi-step workflows on the systems where they are installed. These workflows can copy files, archive files, translate data, add data to a database, execute native commands, or other file system tasks. Workflows on Agents can be scheduled to run on a recurring basis.

Agents can also monitor for new, modified, and deleted files on its file system. When a file is found, Agents can process the file locally or call a Project workflow on GoAnywhere MFT.

GoAnywhere MFT acts as the central point of control to manage all Agents which are connected to it. Admin users in GoAnywhere MFT will configure the work that should be performed on its Agents. Administrators can also view events that occurred, such as file transfers or completed jobs on those Agents.

Agents can be grouped together to simplify setup and configuration. This allows administrators to define tasks that should run on all Agents in a group. For example, an organization that has hundreds of retail stores can easily send out new files to each store in the group. Or, a group of Linux servers can be defined to execute the same SSH commands on all Agent systems at once.

Agent Features

Listed below is a summary of features in GoAnywhere Agents:

Secures file transfers between Agents and the central GoAnywhere MFT environment.
Authenticates Agents connections using X.509 certificates.

May 31, 2016

Version: 5.3.0

Starting with version 5.3.0, GoAnywhere MFT requires a minimum JRE (Java Runtime Environment) version of 1.7. If you are running on a Java version prior to 1.7, you must upgrade your JRE before upgrading GoAnywhere MFT to version 5.3.0.

Secure Forms

The new Secure Forms module allows end-users to fill out custom forms and optionally upload files through a secure HTTPS web portal in GoAnywhere MFT. The Secure Forms can then call Project workflows in GoAnywhere MFT to automatically process the submitted data and files.

GoAnywhere MFT administrators can define one or more Secure Forms with configurable input and output fields, custom labels, and file components to control the data which end-users provide when submitting a form.

For instance, a Secure Form could be used to collect electronic voting ballots, in which the user would be prompted for input parameters such as the county in which they live. The user could then upload their electronic ballot and submit the Secure Form. A Project workflow could automatically be executed to distribute this electronic ballot to the appropriate county election official (based on the county selected by the end-user on the Secure Form).

The Secure Form module includes:

Granular access controls with support for authenticated and public sessions.
Ability to embed forms into existing external web applications.
Friendly URL access to forms.
URL redirection on submit.
Fully customizable input components and layout.
Support for file uploads.
Ability to dynamically generate and provide output files for download.

Please note that Secure Forms is an optional licensed module. Contact your account manager for pricing and additional details.

Version: 5.2.0

Domains

Domains can be used to segment a GoAnywhere installation into multiple security zones where authorized users can only work with the items and files belonging to their assigned Domains. This allows an organization to share a single installation of GoAnywhere MFT with multiple divisions or departments while maintaining separation of administrative access. Domains features include:

Specific admin users and groups can be authorized to one or more Domains.
Domains can be locked into specific folders on the file system. This prevents admin users from accessing files/folders outside of their assigned Domains.
Admin users can quickly switch between their assigned Domains.
Items can be moved between assigned Domains, such as Users, Groups, Project and Resources.

By default, each GoAnywhere installation will be provided with two Domains at no charge. Additional Domains can be purchased as needed.Contact your account manager for pricing and additional details.

GoFast File Transfer Acceleration Protocol

The GoFast file transfer acceleration protocol was added, which uses multiple UDP channels to accelerate the movement of files between servers. This feature includes a new GoFast Server module for receiving accelerated file transfers and a new GoFast Task and Resource for initiating the transfers from within your Projects. GoFast features include:

Uses standard SSL/TLS encryption to protect the control channel between the client and server.
Optional Zlib compression is available for file compression.
Strong AES encryption with up to 256 bit keys is available to protect data in transit.
File checksums support for integrity verification.
Generates full audit trails of all files transferred

Please note that GoFast is an optional licensed module. Contact your account manager for pricing and additional details.

Two-Factor (RADIUS) authentication

Added the RADIUS protocol to provide Two-Factor Authentication using popular token based services such as RSA SecurID, key fobs, or desktop and mobile apps.

Uses the standard RADIUS protocol which provides integration into RSA SecurID as well as other token based authentication services.
Can implement as a primary Login Method or as a secondary authentication type for a user.

SMS Text Messaging

The SMS service providers of Clickatell, Twilio and Plivo are supported, which can be configured at the global level.
A Project can send a SMS Text message to a phone number through one of those service providers using the new SMS Task.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)

A new Resource and Project Task was added for sending traps to an SNMP server.
Provided support for SNMP versions 1 and 2.

Amazon S3 Buckets and WebDAV Servers

Amazon S3 Buckets and WebDAV servers can be predefined as reusable Resources.
Web Users can be configured with virtual folders that point to Amazon S3 Buckets and WebDAV resources.
Amazon S3 Buckets and WebDAV resources can be accessed from Projects for uploading and downloading files as part of an automated process.

Global Administration Log and Change History

New auditing and change control is now available for all major features in GoAnywhere MFT. This provides administrators and auditors a view of admin user activity within the product as well as the ability to restore Projects to a previous revision.

Change History is provided for product changes including Global Settings, GoDrive Settings, Secure Mail, etc...
Admin activity is also audited for changes to Web Users and Web User Groups, Resource, Triggers and Monitors.
Removed log entries to global log for add/edit/delete: Resources, Scheduled, Monitors, Web Users, Web Groups, Triggers, Global Settings, Security Settings, Web User Settings, GoDrive Settings and Secure Mail settings.
Project revisions are now saved when changes are made, and any project can be restored to a previous version.

UI Change Detection

All configuration pages for major components have been updated to include a change detection feature which will prompt users to save any new changes before leaving the configuration page. This change detection feature was added to the following pages:

Secure Mail and GoDrive Settings
Web User and Admin Security Settings
Global Settings
Triggers, Monitors, Schedules and Resources
Web User and Web User Groups

Enhanced Job Log Viewer

Job logs are now updated to isolate exceptions from the normal logging.

Job logs are cleaner and easier to read by writing stack traces to separate files.
Exceptions can easily be viewed from the new log selector.
Exporting the Job Logs will now download a ZIP file containing all related Job Log files.
All exceptions are now logged, even when the exception is handled using an Error Module.

Since that external user management system may be disabling users with its own policies, this scenario will now be considered a warning.
Updated the Security Audit Report to limit the number of web users to a maximum of 5 when multiple Web User's configurations do not meet specific requirements.
Updated the Secure Mail notification emails to allow the message expiration date to be used in the email template.
Fixed a memory leak caused by interrupting a ZIP operation.For example, if downloading multiple files from Secure Folders as a ZIP file, and the download was cancelled, the ZIP stream would remain active. This could cause the Active Transfers to remain indefinitely, which would prevent the JVM from terminating properly.

Fixed an issue where the Global Index rebuild process could fail to re-initialized the index writer in certain cases.
Fixed a rendering issue with the sticky header and menu in Secure Mail when viewing a large message that requires scrolling.
Fixed a potential 'Unexpected error' that could occur when a Web User configured for a non-internal login method is switched to the internal login method and a password is not set for that Web User. Moving forward, if the Web User attempts to log in while in this state, the Web User will see 'Invalid username and/or password'.
Fixed a potential NullPointerException when editing a Project from the Where Used search feature of Resources.
Fixed an issue with the page footer that was not properly handling expiration dates in certain cases.
Fixed an issue with the password fields in IE9 where using CTRL + Z wasn't working properly.
Fixed an issue where the Web Client settings weren't properly refreshed when running in a clustered environment.

Added a new global index for all audit logs including Project Job logs, Trigger logs, SFTP and FTP/s logs, HTTPS logs, AS2 logs and GoDrive logs. This new global index allows all audit trails to be searched through a single screen using "google-like" search criteria. For instance, you can search for a specific file name or user, in which all audit information for that file or user will be displayed in a single set of results.
Added an ICAP Resource and Task to provide standardized integration with antivirus and DLP (data loss prevention) solutions.
Renamed Users, Groups, and Roles to Admin Users, Admin Groups, and Admin Roles respectively. This allows these users to be better distinguished from Web Users.
Added additional commands to GACMD (GoAnywhere Command API) to allow promoting and importing Triggers, Monitors, Projects, Schedules, Resources, Web Users and Web User Groups.
Renamed the Log Manager to Log Settings.
Updated the system property for IECompatibility mode to be 'edge'.
Upgraded the embedded Apache Tomcat web server from 6.0.39 to 7.0.56.

Enhancements/fixes to components that were formally in GoAnywhere Director:

- Added the ability to search for completed jobs using the new Job Name.
- Added the ability to track if a Job was submitted from the Scheduler, a file Monitor, a Trigger, the command line, interactively, etc. When applicable, a link is provided to view more information about the process that submitted the Job.
- Enhanced the linking on the Completed Jobs page to edit a project or navigate into the folder where the project exists.
- Added the ability to add/view user-defined Notes on Completed Jobs.
- Added the ability to resolve a Completed Job that was cancelled or failed. The user name that resolved the Job, along with a timestamp, will be recorded on the Job.
File-level logging for Jobs:

- All file activity can be searched in the File Audit section of the Audit Logs page. Summary and detailed information can also be seen in Dashboard Gadgets and in Reports.
- Added a new screen to view detailed file activity for each Completed Job. This allows users to quickly see what files were read, written, or transferred during the execution of a Project.
- Added a new option to View File Activity for each Resource. For example, a user could view all file transfers that occurred for a specific SFTP resource.
Provided context menu access to the folder action menu on the Project Explorer. Users can right-click on a folder to add a new folder, delete or change the permissions on it.
Added HTTPOnly flag to protect GoAnywhere browser cookies from JavaScript access.

Enhancements/fixes to components that were formally in GoAnywhere Services:

GoDrive Enhancements/Fixes:
- Created a GoDrive Sync client for the Mac OS X platform.
- Enhanced the GoDrive list page to visually indicate if a file is locked, shared or has comments.
- Added menu items to GoDrive files to allow the user to Manage Access, Remove My Access and configure Email Notifications.
- Added the ability to export GoDrive audit logs.
- Fixed an issue that prevented GoDrive items from being shared if the recipient had a previous invitation that is pending.
- Fixed an authority issue where Limited View-Only GoDrive user accounts were able to restore a shared file to a previous revision.
- Removed the Empty Trash Bin button from users that have only Limited View-Only GoDrive access.
- Fixed an issue where Limited View-Only GoDrive user accounts were able to download/access locked files.
- Fixed an issue where GoDrive users without Write permission could delete and restore trash bin items.
- Fixed a GoDrive Sync issue caused by moving files with certain permissions in a shared folder.
Added three new Trigger event types:
- Before AS2 MDN Send - this trigger can call a Project to validate the files that were received in an AS2 message. The Project can return a status to the Trigger to indicate if the MDN should be sent back to the trading partner.
- Before GoDrive Upload - this trigger can call a Project when GoDrive receives a file. The Project can scan the GoDrive file using ICAP (for antivirus or DLP) or use other tasks to determine whether the file should be allowed or rejected.
- Before Secure Mail Send - this trigger can call a Project before the Secure Mail notifications are sent to the recipients. The Project could scan the Secure Mail files using ICAP (for antivirus or DLP) or other tasks to determine whether or not to the Secure Mail should be allowed to be sent.
Added a new Deny Trigger Event task to Projects to conditionally determine whether the new Before Trigger events should proceed.
Added a new Call Project action to Triggers. This action will call a local Project on GoAnywhere MFT.
Added permission security to Resources that were defined in GoAnywhere Services. On upgrade, the All Admin Users group will be granted read, write, and use permission to all existing Resources.

Fixed an issue with the management of connections from GoAnywhere Gateway that could cause a NullPointerException in the logs.
Added a Status column to the Secure Folders activity report in the Web Client.
Added an option to reset the Show/Hide columns dialog back to the default for each supporting page.
