AWS Transfer Family introduces SFTP connectors, a fully-managed service for securely copying files between remote SFTP servers and Amazon S3. This new feature enables bi-directional managed file transfer (MFT) workflows, allowing customers to receive files over common protocols, process them, and distribute data to external parties via SFTP. SFTP connectors offer scalability, easy setup, compliance with industry standards, and cost-efficiency. The service integrates with other AWS services, logs activities in CloudWatch, and supports various authentication methods. Use cases include payment processing, clinical data retrieval, and automated data pipelines.
