Everything you need to know

What is cloud SFTP?

Cloud SFTP provides secure file transfers over SSH without requiring you to manage your own SFTP server infrastructure. Instead of configuring and maintaining Linux servers manually, you get a fully managed SFTP endpoint hosted in the cloud.


Why businesses use cloud SFTP

Many organizations still rely on secure file transfers for integrations, automation and partner communication. Cloud SFTP removes the operational overhead of running OpenSSH servers while keeping compatibility with existing workflows and enterprise tooling.


Modern SFTP authentication support

ftpGrid supports both password-based login and modern SSH key authentication methods commonly used in professional environments. This includes:

  • SSH-ED25519 (recommended modern SSH key authentication)
  • ECDSA-SHA2-NISTP256
  • SSH-RSA
  • SCP compatibility for legacy workflows

Security built into the platform

All SFTP traffic is encrypted in transit using SSH protocols, while stored files are encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption. This helps protect sensitive business data during both transfer and storage.
