Own your data
Control the login methods, protocols, public keys & permissions of each user. Additionally, you can restrict access to a specific path (chroot).
The data stored on SFTPCloud is encrypted in transit and, when dealing with more sensitive data, encrypted at rest. The SFTP user can log in using auto-generated strong passwords or public key authentication.
We provide each user with its own isolated S3-compatible storage but you can always bring your own storage. By doing that, your data is stored on your storage.
High availability and cloud native
SFTPCloud is cloud native and takes high availability and disaster recovery very seriously. Additionally, you can store the data in the cloud storage of your choice.
