Simplified automated transfers

SFTPPlus runs inside the operating system as a background service, without requiring any human intervention. Transfers operate on a 24/7 basis or using a defined schedule. Transfers run on any bare-metal, VM, or container using your preferred operating system like Windows, Linux or macOS. There is support for fallback transfers that are executed on a separate disaster recovery instance.
  • File filters. You can define which files to be transferred, based on simple rules like file name or file age, or advanced rules like regular expression. You can configure a transfer to remember the name and size of the transferred file so that they will not be re-transferred.
  • Auto-retry on errors. If the remote server is not reachable, is under maintenance or has rejected a transfer, SFTPPlus can retry the transfer.
  • Retention policy & Archiving. On successful transfers, the files can be kept on the source location or move to an archive. The archive location is configured with retention policies to automatically delete older files.

Transfer management

Once a file was successfully transferred, SFTPPlus can delete the file from the source or archive the file, applying a configurable data retention policy. It can automatically create any missing destination directory, or apply data protection rules to prevent overwriting data. For example, it can add a timestamp to one of the conflicting files.

Possible scheduling rules

  • time of any day
  • time of a specific week day
  • first, second, Nth, or last day of the month

Advanced transfer capabilities

SFTPPlus is designed as a no-code solution which can replace any custom file transfer script or cron job. It can rename, compress, decompress, encrypt, decrypt files before or after a transfer. Transfers are configured and monitored using a Web UI or, if you prefer, use plain text configuration or log files.
  • Scheduling allows transfers to start or pause based on the time of day, day of the week, or day of the month.
  • Trigger On successful transfers or when failing to transfer a file, after all the retries, alerts and notifications can be sent over email or HTTP web hooks. You can also receive daily reports with the success or failed transfers
  • PGP operations are integrated into SFTPPlus and it can automatically encrypt or decrypt files, or sign and check existing signatures.
  • Disaster recovery fallback. You can configure multiple SFTPPlus instances to operate as a disaster recovery fallback. Configuration is automatically replicated among the members of the cluster. Files are first attempted to be transferred by the primary instance.
