# Understanding what Syncplify AFT! is

True **Managed File Transfer (MFT)** requires the interoperation of 2 parts:

- a file transfer server (that's what [Syncplify Server!](https://www.syncplify.me/syncplify-server.html) is)
- an automated file transfer client (that's what [Syncplify AFT!](https://www.syncplify.me/aft-client.html) is)

While Syncplify Server! has been well established on the market as one of the overall best SFTP/FTPS servers for several years, we just recently released its MFT counterpart: **Syncplify AFT!**

The video here below shows the main features found in **Syncplify AFT!** and is a good general overview of the product itself.
