1. A system, comprising:

  • a domain comprising a data center including an managed file transfer (MFT) Instance, including;

    a processor coupled to a memory;

    a set of resources including a managed file transfer service for transferring files between a set of servers by;

    receiving a file transfer request from a sender to send a file to a recipient;

    determining a location of the recipient;

    determining a location server that is closest to the location of the recipient;

    andautomatically initiating a server-to-server transfer to move the file to the location server that is closest to the location of the recipient;

    a local domain authenticator for;

    providing a credential for a member of the domain to use in accessing the set of resources of the domain during a session;

    authenticating the credential associated with a member of the domain, and a remote authenticator which is part of a cloud based MFT system, for;

    providing the credential to a non-local requestor which is a cloud command center operable for the coordination of MFT instances as part of the cloud based MFT system, and is not a member of the domain by;

    receiving an authentication request from the non-local requestor outside the domain, wherein the request is to be authenticated for accessing the set of resources;

    authenticating the non-local requestor using the authentication request without use of any domain credentials for the non-local requestor for any domain by verifying the authentication request using a secure protocol;

    accessing the local domain authenticator to obtain the credential associated with the domain; and

    providing the credential to the non-local requestor, wherein the non-local requestor can access the set of resources of the domain during a session maintained between the non-local requestor and the domain using the credential and authentication of an access of the non-local requestor to the set of resources during the session is performed using the local domain authenticator and the credential.
