    Overview

    Play video

    SFTP Gateway is a secure, fast, and easy-to-use solution for transferring files via SFTP to cloud storage services such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. It facilitates seamless file transfers directly to cloud storage, ensuring data protection by never storing files in transit. Administrators manage the SFTP service through an intuitive web dashboard.

    The enterprise version is optimized for large enterprise deployments. It supports high availability in multiple regions with DNS failover, ensuring your service remains operational across different geographic locations. This version can integrate with enterprise observability, event orchestration, and business process automation services. Custom integration services are available from Thorn Tech. Contact us for a custom quote based on requirements. Marketplace private offers are available.

    The enterprise version provides high availability for enterprise workloads. High availability is provided by deploying multiple SFTP Gateway instances in private subnets in different availability zones. Traffic is automatically routed to each instance using a network load balancer. The High Availability deployment is automated using our deployment templates, making the process quick and easy. The HA cluster can be duplicated in multiple regions with DNS failover for global support or cross-region failover.

    SFTP Gateway provides end-to-end data encryption and protection. It runs as a Virtual Machine image in your private cloud environment. Data is transferred directly from SFTP clients to cloud storage locations, like AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, or Google Cloud Storage, and is never touched by a third party. It supports configurable SFTP encryption algorithms during transfer. At rest, files are encrypted using cloud storage bucket policies with Platform or Customer-Managed encryption keys via services like KMS, Key Vault, etc.

    SFTP Gateway has been independently audited by a leading third-party security company. The Security Audit report, Penetration Test results, and Letter of Attestation are available on request.

    Amazon Machine Image (AMI)

    An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

    Usage instructions

    You can configure SFTP Gateway with CloudFormation, or as an Amazon Machine Image. We highly recommend using CloudFormation because it configures additional AWS resources you would otherwise need to provision manually.

    Super easy to deploy w/GCP Marketplace, great support

    Reviewed on Oct 08, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    The product itself has been easy to use and administer. I especially like the straightforward process of defining Google Cloud Storage integration. But importantly, I found it extremely easy to set up through the Google Cloud Platform marketplace offering. I am moderately capable with GCP's services, but by no means an expert, so the advantage of having it well-packaged for deployment makes it stand out. I've also requested support from the Thorn team, and they've been very responsive and able to solve my issues (confusion on my part, not product) within minutes.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    I've not found anything to report. I'm always willing to suggest enhancements if I feel the need, but nothing so far.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    I have to allow suppliers of sensitive data to send to our company's platform securely.

    From the product to the team, SFTP Gateway is a critical part of our infrastructure. SFTP Gateway is rock solid and dependable. And the sales and support staff are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful.

    What do you like best about the product?
    Can use our own storage engine (S3) and create rules in lambda to trigger automations when there's file activity.
    The detailed audit and application logs (that are streamed to CloudWatch) make this the most transparent SFTP solution out there. Having to deal with clients who rely on their service and being able to actually troubleshoot is a game changer. The admin interface is also great and makes it very easy to manage users and directories.
    Their support team was beyond helpful in getting us setup with our integration, and responding to follow up support requests.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    If I have to find something that I dislike is that since we're "self hosting", the upgrade burden is on us.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Having an SFTP service that can connect to our existing IT stack so that we can share files with our clients and run automation logic.

    What do you like best about the product?
    The best part is the seamless integration with existing cloud infrastructure and the support for multiple cloud environments. The quick setup and support from the Thorn Technologies team make the experience smooth and hassle-free.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    It would be nice to offer users an option for moving their files in a web broswer, but another Thorn Technologies product, StorageLink, currently handles this.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    It enables you to transition from an outdated, restrictive solution to a more flexible, self-managed system. Because it’s deployed in the organization’s private cloud environment, third parties don’t handle the data like with other file transfer solutions.
