What it is

SFTPGo is a managed file transfer platform for secure file exchange, storage, and workflow automation. It supports SFTP, FTPS, WebDAV, and browser access through a WebClient. Storage can use local filesystems, S3-compatible services, Azure Blob, Google Cloud Storage, or other SFTP servers. Scheduled and event-driven workflows can notify users, move files between storage backends, ingest IMAP attachments, or use the REST API and Terraform provider. Authentication options include passwords, public keys, multi-step authentication, two-factor authentication, and OpenID Connect single sign-on. Listed protections include encryption at rest and in transit, brute-force auto-blocking, granular access controls, and audit logs. File and folder links can have password or email authentication, expiry dates, and download limits. Integrations include Collabora Online, ICAP, LDAP, Active Directory, and Entra ID. The Open Source edition is a production-ready community edition under AGPLv3. SaaS plans start at €50 a month, with a 10-day trial; Tiny and Small are not suited to installations with many simultaneous connections. Enterprise deployment supports Linux, Windows, Docker, or Kubernetes.

Strong points and limits

Strong points

  • Supports SFTP, FTPS, WebDAV, and browser access
  • Storage includes local, cloud, and SFTP backends
  • Scheduled and event-driven workflow automation
  • Secure share links can expire or limit downloads
  • Open Source edition is production-ready under AGPLv3

Limits

  • Tiny and Small are unsuitable for many simultaneous connections
  • Tiny plan includes 25 GiB storage
  • Tiny plan retains audit logs for 7 days
  • SaaS plans start at €50 a month

Who it suits

It suits organizations that need file transfer across multiple protocols and storage backends, with workflow automation and access controls. The Open Source edition is available to teams seeking a community edition, while SaaS and on-premises license options list paid support.

Verdict

SFTPGo combines file transfer protocols, varied storage options, access controls, sharing, and automation. Review plan storage, bandwidth, audit retention, and connection constraints against the intended deployment; the Tiny and Small SaaS plans are not for installations with many simultaneous connections.
