What is a cloud FTP server?
A cloud FTP server is a fully managed FTP endpoint hosted in the cloud. It lets you transfer files using standard FTP protocols without running your own server.
Cloud FTP server vs self-hosted FTP server
| Feature | Self-hosted FTP server | Cloud FTP server |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Manual installation and configuration | Ready instantly |
| Maintenance | Ongoing updates and monitoring | Fully managed |
| Security | Manual configuration | Secure by default |
| Reliability | Depends on setup | Built for production workloads |
Why use a cloud based FTP server?
Running your own FTP server introduces complexity. You need to manage uptime, updates, security and performance. A cloud based FTP server removes that burden and gives you a stable endpoint you can rely on.
Designed for integrations and automation
Use your cloud FTP server as a backend for scripts, applications and systems. If your system supports FTP, it connects instantly without additional configuration.
