The SFTP Server Hosting You Came Here For
Files.com runs a world-class cloud SFTP and FTP service. Enterprise-grade, fully managed, and live in minutes — not weeks. Point your existing SFTP clients at a subdomain we provision; the server side is taken care of.
- Dedicated SFTP, FTPS, and FTP endpoints on your own subdomain
- SSH key authentication, IP allowlisting, per-user permissions
- Every modern client supported — partners connect however they already work
- Real-time transfer logging with full audit trail for SOC 2 / HIPAA evidence
- 99.9% uptime, AES-256 encryption, modern cipher suites by default
- Zero infrastructure — no patching, no capacity planning, no TLS rotation
Use our storage, bring your own, or both. Files.com includes built-in cloud storage — or connect your own S3, Azure, GCP, SharePoint, or on-prem systems. Your choice; no forced migration of where your files live.
There was no SFTP server before, so we constantly relied on vendor sites for transfers. Now we have options and integration capabilities — what used to be a difficult conversation is a seamless routine.
