    Overview

    Play video

    SFTP Gateway is a secure, scalable, 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 professional version supports high availability for production workloads. We recommend this version for any production deployment that requires redundancy and high performance. High availability is provided by deploying multiple SFTP Gateway instances to 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.

    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. Security Audit report, Penetration Test results and Letter of Attestation is 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.

    Additional details

    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.

    To access the product after launching the CloudFormation stack, simply grab the host name from the CloudFormation Outputs tab and paste it into your browser to access the Admin web interface.

    Please see our documentation for detailed instructions on launching SFTP Gateway from the AWS Marketplace.

    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.

    What do you like best about the product?
    The most helpful part about SFTP GW is the ease of use for the technical / non technical resources. Also the customer service is outstanding and a model representation of what support should look like in todays world. This is also a very easy initial deployment.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Previous versions have required more configuration on the instances themselves but new releases have helped square that number away significantly.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    They are replacing a recent solution that could not perform to expectation.
