SFTPGo is an SFTP, FTP/S, HTTP/S and WebDAV server backed by Amazon S3
4.1
Overview
This offer includes the open-source version of SFTPGo, preconfigured to use MySQL/MariaDB as data provider.
To use the SFTPGo Enterprise Edition, which is based on the open-source version but includes additional features and enhancements, please refer to the Enterprise Starter or Enterprise Premium offers.
SFTPGo allows you to securely share your files over SFTP and optionally over HTTP/S, FTP/S and WebDAV as well.
With SFTPGo you can leverage the reliability and scale of Amazon S3 (and other storage providers) for exchanging and storing files internally or with business partners using the same tools and processes you are already familiar with.
Several storage backends are supported and they are configurable per-user, so you can serve a local directory for a user and an S3 bucket (or part of it) for another one.
SFTPGo also supports virtual folders, a virtual folder can use any of the supported storage backends. So you can have, for example, a user with the S3 backend mapping a Google Cloud Storage bucket (or part of it) on a specified path and an encrypted local filesystem on another one. Virtual folders can be private or shared among multiple users, for shared virtual folders you can define different quota limits for each user.
The WebClient user interface allows end users to change their credentials, browse and manage their files in the browser and setup two-factor authentication which works with Authy, Google Authenticator and other compatible apps.
Using the WebClient each authorized user can create HTTP/S links to externally share files and folders securely, by setting limits to the number of downloads/uploads, protecting the share with a password, limiting access by source IP address, setting an automatic expiration date.
Other notable features:
- REST API.
- Web based administration interface to easily manage users, groups, folders and connections.
- Integration with external identity providers via OpenID Connect.
- Simplified user administrations using groups.
- Custom workflows based on server events or schedules.
- ACME protocol is supported: you can obtain and automatically renew TLS certificates for HTTPS, WebDAV and FTPS.
- Branding: the web UIs can be customized to match your brand.
- Configurable custom commands and/or HTTP notifications on upload, pre-upload, download, pre-download, delete, pre-delete, rename, mkdir, rmdir and on user add, update and delete.
- Chroot isolation for local accounts. Cloud-based accounts can be restricted to a certain base path.
- Per-user and per-directory virtual permissions.
- Public key and password authentication. Multiple public keys per user are supported.
- Multi-factor authentication and multi-step authentication.
- Disk quota and bandwidth throttling.
- Data transfer bandwidth limits, with total limit or separate settings for uploads and downloads and overrides based on the client's IP address. Limits can be reset using the REST API.
- Per-protocol rate limiting.
- Per-user and global IP filters.
- Automatic blocklist.
Several data providers are supported, this AMI is pre-configured to use MariaDB. You can use any other supported data provider by changing the configuration.
Upgrading
We strongly recommend that you keep both SFTPGo and the AMI up to date to apply the latest security and bug fixes and to use the latest SFTPGo features. Using stardard system commands is enough, for example:
sudo dnf upgrade
If you are upgrading SFTPGo from a very old version, also check the SFTPGo specific upgrade docs
Highlights
- Local storage, S3, Google Cloud, Azure Blob over SFTP/FTP/WebDAV
- Custom workflows based on server events or schedules
- Highly customizable and extensible to suit your needs

Pricing
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
If you are an AWS Free Tier customer with a free plan, you are eligible to subscribe to this offer. You can use free credits to cover the cost of eligible AWS infrastructure. See AWS Free Tier for more details. If you created an AWS account before July 15th, 2025, and qualify for the Legacy AWS Free Tier, Amazon EC2 charges for Micro instances are free for up to 750 hours per month. See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance size you run this software on. Every dimension maps to a specific instance type, so pricing scales with the compute you choose. Smaller instances like t2.nano, t2.micro, and t3.small suit light workloads. Larger instances such as m5.24xlarge, m5d.metal, and m5n.16xlarge handle heavier transfer volumes and more concurrent connections. The m4, m5, m5a, m5ad, m5d, m5dn, m5n, c4, and t-series families give you different balances of CPU, memory, and storage. You pick one instance type; hourly billing follows your usage.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each charge covers one running EC2 instance of the type you select, billed per hour. This listing runs the open-source SFTPGo software configured with an external MySQL-compatible database. You provide and run that MySQL database separately; the hourly rate here covers the software on your chosen instance.
Hourly software charges apply only while the instance runs. A fully stopped instance stops accruing software charges. You may still pay underlying AWS fees, such as storage for the instance volume, while it sits stopped. Billing follows running hours of the instance you selected.
Your bill is driven by the single instance type you pick. Larger families like m5, m5d, and m5n offer more CPU and memory to handle more concurrent transfers. To scale, move to a bigger instance type; the hourly rate changes with that selection.

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.
