SFTPPlus

SFTPPlus is a cross-platform Managed File Transfer (MFT) software developed by Pro:Atria Ltd. It is designed to facilitate secure, automated, and compliant file transfers across enterprise environments. As an MFT solution, SFTPPlus enables organizations to exchange sensitive data using encrypted protocols such as SFTP, FTPS, HTTPS, SCP, AS2, and WebDAV, while also supporting cloud integrations like Azure Blob Storage, SharePoint Online, and Exchange Online. Its primary use cases include secure data exchange between internal systems, external partners, and cloud services, making it ideal for industries with strict compliance requirements such as finance, healthcare, government, and logistics. SFTPPlus operates as both a server and a client, offering modular components that can be deployed independently or together. The server component provides protocol-based services for receiving and sending files, user authentication, certificate management, and real-time event handling. The client component automates outbound file transfers, monitors directories for changes, and supports advanced workflows such as file archiving, renaming, and conditional routing. These features allow organizations to build end-to-end automated file transfer pipelines without relying on manual intervention. One of the standout features of SFTPPlus is its platform versatility. It runs natively on Windows, Linux (including Red Hat, Ubuntu, and Amazon Linux), macOS, and is optimized for containerized environments like Docker and Kubernetes. This flexibility ensures that SFTPPlus can be integrated into traditional on-premises infrastructure as well as modern cloud-native architectures. It also supports orchestration platforms such as OpenShift, Rancher, and managed Kubernetes services like EKS, AKS, and GKE. Security and compliance are central to SFTPPlus’s design. The software adheres to industry standards including FIPS 140-2, HIPAA/HITECH, ISO 27001, and GPG 13, ensuring that data transfers meet regulatory requirements. It supports multiple authentication methods, including LDAP, Active Directory, Azure AD, and OpenID Connect, allowing organizations to enforce identity and access controls across their file transfer operations. Audit logging is comprehensive, with logs stored in syslog, Windows Event Log, or SQLite, and configurable alerts that notify administrators of anomalies or failures. SFTPPlus is engineered to be lightweight and efficient. Unlike many enterprise MFT solutions, it does not require external databases or web servers to function. It runs as a standalone background service, reducing system overhead and simplifying deployment. This architecture also minimizes attack surfaces and improves reliability, especially in environments where uptime and security are critical. The software includes a web-based administration interface built with HTML5, offering centralized control over users, protocols, certificates, and file transfer rules. Administrators can configure services, monitor activity, and manage logs through an intuitive dashboard. For developers and system integrators, SFTPPlus provides a public API and SDK, enabling custom integrations and event-driven automation. This makes it suitable for embedding secure file transfer capabilities into business applications or triggering workflows based on file events.

SFTPPlus distinguishes itself in the market through several key advantages that provide a competitive edge over rival MFT solutions. First, its multi-protocol versatility is exceptional. Supporting SFTP, FTPS, HTTPS, AS2, SCP, WebDAV, and SMTP—not to mention cloud-native integrations like Azure Blob and Exchange Online—SFTPPlus offers a single, unified tool to handle all secure transfer needs. This breadth contrasts with competitors that might specialize in just one or two protocols, reducing complexity and vendor fragmentation. Secondly, the platform’s cross-platform and container support gives it unmatched flexibility. It runs natively on Windows, Linux, macOS, and container environments—ideal for modern infrastructure strategies. Many traditional MFT vendors lag in offering seamless support for Kubernetes, Docker, and multi-cloud deployments.
