GoAnywhere

GoAnywhere MFT

Version: 5.4.0

Web Services

  • Added a new REST resource and four new tasks to Put, Delete, Get, and Post RESTful web services. The new task supports XML and JSON based services and simplifies integration with applications.
  • Added a new SOAP resource and task to provide streamlined integration with SOAP web services. A wizard is provided that simplifies the creation of actions by building them based on the WSDL definition. Files can be sent inline or using MTOM. The files and XML payload returned from the web service can be stored or processed.
  • Added two new tasks to read and write JSON data.
  • Added a new RESTful web service interface to execute commands in GoAnywhere. These are the same actions that are available via GoAnywhere Command (GAcmd) from Windows and Linux command line.
  • Added a new SOAP web service interface to execute commands in GoAnywhere. These are the same actions that are available via GoAnywhere Command (GAcmd) from Windows and Linux command line.

Secure Forms

  • Added the following input and output components to Secure Forms:
    • Number
    • Radio Buttons
    • Checkbox
    • Multi-Checkbox
    • Bulleted List
    • Text Area
  • Added the ability to specify HTML syntax in Secure Form components like Output Text. This allows administrators to add advanced options in a form including links, videos, and formatting.
  • Added additional properties to existing Secure Form components. Output text has options to control the font size and formatting, drop downs can be editable versus selecting predefined values only, and autocomplete can be controlled on input text fields.
  • Enhanced Secure Form processing to delete the temporary files that may have been attached if the user cancels out of the form. Previously these temporary files were only deleted when the user's session is ended.
  • Enhanced the configuration of the Output Text component in Secure Forms to have a bigger text area to input data.
  • Updated system startup processing that checked for Secure Form payloads that were incomplete to cleanup any abandoned forms. This could occur if there was a hard system failure while users were configuring forms with file attachments.
  • Updated Secure Forms components that support multiple options to prevent duplicate values.
  • Removed an unnecessary empty output panel where a blue line was displayed after a public Secure Form was submitted and no output files were returned.

  • Added the ability to resolve host names at the proxy server rather than locally on the GoAnywhere MFT server.
  • Added additional security by hiding password fields on configuration pages (e.g. Global Settings and Login Methods). Users can opt to change a password which will then display a field to input the new password.

  • Enhanced the File Chooser dialog to start in the location that was typed in prior to the ... button being clicked.
  • Enhanced how the User name field is searched in the Audit Log pages so that it is case insensitive and inclusive.

Text fields can be added to the top of the report to describe the report criteria and summary fields can be used to calculate the min, max, average, or summary values of the data. Charts can also be added to visualize the information in the report.
  • Added a new Completed Jobs by Project report that lists the number of Jobs executed, the number of files transferred in those Jobs, and the bytes transferred for each Project.

    • Moved the Component Library to the left side of the Project Outline. This gives more vertical spacing for the outline and simplifies drag-n-drop between the library and outline.
    • The Component Library can be expanded or collapsed. When collapsed, simply hover over the tab which will expand the library. When you drag-n-drop a component the library will automatically collapse again freeing up real estate.
    • A new Variables panel was added to the right side of the page. It is broken into four sections to list out Project, Folder, Output, and System variables. These variables can be drag-n-dropped into task fields and the ${} syntax is automatically added to the variable.
    • The working panel where attributes are configured is now displayed in a vertical accordion panel instead of tabs. If a panel has values specified, the accordion panel is automatically expanded to quickly view all values.
    • FileSets no longer appear as a subelement of a task. They are embedded in the main task level and appear right next to the other Input File fields.

  • Added a new Where Used page that shows all Schedule, Monitor, Trigger, and Secure Form references to a Project.
  • Added enhanced security around Resource passwords. When a password was previously set on a Resource, a new Change Password link is provided to set a new value. In addition, passwords can be recoverable or non-recoverable.
  • Added a new Monitor event type for File Exists. This is useful to execute a Project when any file is found in the monitored folder.
