Managed FTP/SFTP cloud hosting

Managed FTP Hosting – Secure, Reliable, and Hassle-Free File Transfers

Running your own FTP server can be time-consuming and risky — managing certificates, configuring firewalls, handling user permissions, and keeping security patches up-to-date. ftpGrid’s Managed FTP Hosting takes care of all of that for you, so you can focus on your work instead of server admin. Whether you need FTP, FTPS, or SFTP, ftpGrid delivers enterprise-grade security and zero-maintenance hosting, all in the cloud.

No Server Maintenance

Forget about OS updates, SSL renewals, and downtime worries. Our platform runs on a secure, redundant infrastructure with 24/7 monitoring.

Built-In TLS & SSH Security

ftpGrid support both FTPS (explicit TLS) and SFTP (SSH-based), with automatic Let’s Encrypt certificates or custom SSL setups.

Accessible Anywhere

Works seamlessly across office networks, VPN connections, and firewalled environments with passive FTP and SFTP support.

Predictable Costs

Transparent monthly pricing. No surprise bandwidth or storage fees.
