Everything you need to know

What is a cloud SFTP server?

A cloud SFTP server is a managed secure file transfer endpoint hosted in the cloud. It allows organizations to transfer files securely over SSH without operating their own OpenSSH infrastructure.


Cloud SFTP server vs self-hosted SFTP server

Feature Self-hosted SFTP server Cloud SFTP server
SSH server setup Manual installation & configuration Ready instantly
Security maintenance Internal responsibility Managed platform
Authentication management Custom SSH configuration Built-in support
Encryption Depends on configuration Enabled by default
Reliability Depends on infrastructure Built for production workloads
Operational overhead High Minimal

Why use a cloud based SFTP server?

Operating secure file transfer infrastructure internally requires ongoing server administration, patching and security management. A cloud SFTP server removes that operational complexity while keeping compatibility with standard SFTP workflows and enterprise systems.
