    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.

    Amazing product and an amazing service team

    Reviewed on Feb 02, 2026
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    Simplicity of installation and use. Simply install the VM, create an account, connect to storage, and you're off and running.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    There is literally nothing I don't like about the product itself. One thing that was a surprise is after using the product for a few years, the licensing model abruptly changed. Upon upgrade, I realized I would need to choose the option that is twice as expensive as the product we were using.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    SFTP Gateway has given us the ability to employ a small, yet powerful device that suits our every SFTP need.
