Built for production use

Core FTP storage features

ftpGrid combines traditional FTP and SFTP workflows with modern automation, integrations and cloud storage features. Built for production environments, large file transfers and business-critical workflows.

Highlighted customer use cases

From accounting exports and database backups to supplier integrations and large media delivery — ftpGrid is built for real-world operational workflows.

ERP & accounting integrations

We use ftpGrid to exchange invoices, EDI files and ERP exports securely between internal systems and external partners without maintaining our own SFTP infrastructure.

Automated secure backups

Database backups, nightly exports and log archives are transferred automatically using encrypted SFTP connections and webhook-based workflows

Vendor & partner file exchange

ftpGrid allows us to exchange sensitive business files securely with suppliers, customers and external partners using standard SFTP clients.

Large file delivery

We transfer large media files, reports and archives through stable encrypted connections without worrying about bandwidth spikes or storage scaling.

REST API & application integrations

Our applications upload and retrieve files through the ftpGrid REST API while legacy systems continue using FTP and SFTP.

Compliance-sensitive workflows

Encrypted transfers, audit logs and European hosting make ftpGrid suitable for regulated workflows and compliance-sensitive file handling.
