SFTPGo is a configurable file transfer server supporting SFTP, SCP, FTP, FTPS, HTTP and WebDAV. It offers a unified way to provide access to local and cloud-hosted files through several established protocols.
The software is particularly suitable for environments with multiple users, different storage systems and detailed access requirements. Administrators can manage accounts through a browser or API, while users can work with their files through compatible transfer clients or a web interface.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Provides SFTP, SCP, FTP, FTPS, HTTP and WebDAV services, allowing accounts to access files through different protocols.
- Storage backends include the local filesystem, encrypted local storage, Amazon S3-compatible services, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage and remote SFTP servers.
- Virtual folders allow different storage backends to appear within a single user’s directory structure.
- Fine-grained permissions control directory listings, uploads, downloads, overwriting, deletion, renaming and other file operations.
- Multiple authentication methods include passwords, SSH public keys, SSH certificates and keyboard-interactive authentication.
- Time-based one-time passwords provide an additional authentication factor for supported account workflows.
- Groups simplify account administration, while administrative roles can restrict management responsibilities.
- Per-user storage quotas, transfer limits, bandwidth restrictions and concurrent-session limits control resource consumption.
- IP address filtering, protocol restrictions and automatic blocking help protect exposed services against unwanted access.
- The Event Manager executes configurable actions in response to file operations, account activity and scheduled events.
- A REST API supports account management, virtual folders, connection reporting, backups and other administration tasks.
- WebAdmin provides browser-based administration, while WebClient supports file management and sharing by authorised users.
- OpenID Connect integration is available for web-interface authentication.
- Automatic TLS certificate management supports HTTPS, WebDAV and FTPS services.
