The Image is fully configured for quick and easy deployment of FTP/FTPS/SFTP Server allowing you to remove the need for you to host your own server, manage the service and maintain the security and integrity of the solution.
Packaged by Tidal Media Inc. this AMI solution deploying a full-featured, scalable, secure, multi-protocol server for transferring files for your organization.
This solution is an FTP/FTPS/SFTP server that enables users to access remote files over TCP/IP networks such as the Internet. Unlike FTP, FTPS and SFTP protocols provide security and strong encryption of data - great for insecure networks.
SFTP is still commonly used to support long-established business processes and securely transfer files with 3rd party vendors. Use SFTP Gateway as a traditional SFTP server, or to upload these files to AWS storage.
Features:
Transfers streamed directly in memory
Runs in your network to reduce data transfer costs
Unlimited user accounts
Home directories
Folder Permissions
SFTP, FTP, and FTPS support
GUI configuration tool
Active Directory integration LDAP
Audit Logs
Brute Force Login Prevention
Per-user IP whitelisting
This SFTP Server is workforce-tested, with an experienced product development team and dedicated technical support staff. It is free from hidden backdoors and vendor lock-in.
The Image is built to get started right out-the-box by simply deploying the solution into your network and accessing the web interface to configure storage containers and users.
Highlights
Transfer data securely over SSH layer using AES, DES, and BLOWFISH encryption.
Optimized for speed and performance. Scalable solution on AWS.
It's simple to set up and takes less than a minute

You pay by the hour for the software running on your chosen Amazon EC2 instance. The many options here are not feature tiers. Each one maps to a different EC2 instance size and family. Smaller t2 and t3 types suit light workloads, while larger m4, m5, and metal types handle heavier data transfer. Your hourly cost scales with the compute, memory, and networking capacity of the instance you select. All options run the same pre-configured FTP/FTPS/SFTP server image, so you choose based on the capacity you need, not on differing features.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one hourly unit map to for billing?
Each unit is one running Amazon EC2 instance of the type you pick. You pay for every hour that instance runs, whatever the instance family or size. The rate reflects the compute, memory, and networking capacity of that instance. Multiple running instances each bill separately by the hour.
Am I charged when my instance is stopped?
Hourly software charges accrue only while your EC2 instance runs. A stopped instance does not generate software charges. Note that AWS may still bill for attached storage while the instance is stopped, but the FTP server software meters running time only.
What is included in the image no matter which instance I choose?
Every instance runs the same pre-configured FTP/FTPS/SFTP server image on Windows Server 2016. It supports file upload, download, and transfer over SFTP, FTP, and FTPS. You set up local users and folder permissions after deployment. Your instance choice affects capacity, not the software features.
