Managed file transfer server for SFTP, FTPS, HTTPS and WebDAV

SFTPGo is a full-featured, highly configurable managed file transfer (MFT) server that provides SFTP, FTPS, HTTPS, and WebDAV access to local and cloud storage. It includes web-based administration and a browser file client, plus automation via a REST API.
Key Features
- Multi-protocol server: SFTP, FTPS, HTTPS, and WebDAV for broad client compatibility
- Pluggable storage backends: local filesystem, encrypted local filesystem, S3-compatible object storage, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, and remote SFTP backends
- WebAdmin UI for managing users, groups, permissions, quotas, and virtual folders
- WebClient for browser-based file browsing, uploads, and downloads
- Secure sharing via time-limited HTTPS links with optional passwords and download limits
- Security controls including granular permissions, audit logs, and data-at-rest encryption
- Authentication options including OpenID Connect (SSO) and built-in two-factor authentication
- Event-driven architecture with automation and integration via REST API
Use Cases
- Replace legacy file transfer servers while using modern object storage as the backend
- Provide secure partner file exchange with per-user isolation, quotas, and auditing

SFTPGo is well suited for organizations that need a secure file transfer gateway with modern storage backends, strong administration tooling, and API-driven automation while keeping compatibility with standard protocols.
