File Transfer Request Internal UofM Use

Purpose The Office Information Technology (OIT) utilizes a Secured Managed File Transport (MFT) appliance to manage file transfers to Vendors, Colleges, business units and researchers of the University of Minnesota. To facilitate the requests the following information needs to be gathered for each transfer. The University Entity (Business Analysts) and their file sharing partner each play a role in collecting this information. OIT can and will assist in the collection of this data if help is requested within a ServiceNow request. This form will also inform the file sharing partner of all technical information they might need to update your firewall or whitelist the information.
