Online FTP Server, Hosted and Ready in Ten Minutes

Same protocol, dramatically less work. An EC2 with vsftpd is your responsibility: patching, certificates, firewall rules, passive-port ranges, audit-log extraction, user provisioning, key rotation, backups, monitoring, scaling under load. Files.com Cloud handles all of that — you get a subdomain, you create users, your partners connect. The protocol is the same; the operations load is gone.

Yes. Point a CNAME from ftp.yourcompany.com (or whichever hostname you want) at your Files.com site; partners connect to your branded hostname rather than *.files.com. Same for the web file manager — files.yourcompany.com becomes the canonical URL.

All of them. Files.com exposes standard SFTP on port 22, FTPS on port 21, and plain FTP on port 21 — any client that speaks those protocols works. We test against FileZilla, WinSCP, Cyberduck, Transmit, the OS-bundled sftp / ftp CLIs, and automation libraries (Paramiko, ssh2, libcurl, .NET FtpWebRequest) — but the platform is interoperable with the protocol standard, so your client doesn't need a special plugin.

Files.com is the cloud-native File Orchestration Platform used by 4,000+ organizations for mission-critical file operations. One platform replaces your SFTP server, file-sharing tools, automation scripts, job scheduler, and desktop file server.

Files.com connects natively to 50+ platforms, including AWS S3, Azure Blob, Google Cloud Storage, SharePoint, and Dropbox. Bring your own storage, use ours, or both — Files.com handles protocol translation automatically, so your partners and systems connect however they already work.

Files.com processes over 1 billion file transfers per year. The Files.com Agent uses custom UDP-based acceleration technology to transfer large files at maximum speed regardless of distance or network conditions. The platform auto-scales to handle volume spikes without any intervention.

Files.com provisions a working SFTP endpoint in about 10 minutes from sign-up — configure your first endpoint or automation right in the browser. Every plan also includes a working session with an Onboarding engineer for migration planning, go-live support, and workflow optimization at no extra cost; Enterprise customers get a bespoke onboarding with a dedicated engineer assigned to the rollout.

Plans start at $199/month. All platform capabilities are included in every plan — SFTP/FTP server, automation, file sharing, desktop drive, job scheduling, fast file transfer, data transformation, and document collaboration. Pricing scales with usage. No long-term contracts required.

Files.com encrypts all data with AES-256 at rest and in transit (TLS 1.2/1.3), with zero data breaches in 15 years across billions of file transfers. The platform is continuously tested through a public bug bounty running since 2016, and offers seven global data regions so you control where your data lives — bring your own storage or use ours.

Files.com is SOC 2 Type II certified and supports HIPAA, GDPR, ITAR, and PCI DSS Level 2 compliance. Multiple global data regions, including EU-only options, plus complete audit trails and data-residency controls are built in.

Every Files.com customer gets engineering-level support — no Level 1 scripts, no chatbots — with sub-1-hour response times. Every plan includes a working session with an Onboarding engineer for migration planning, go-live support, and workflow optimization. Enterprise customers get a bespoke onboarding with a dedicated engineer, plus custom SLAs and dedicated account management.
