Benefits Of AWS Transfer Family?
- A fully managed service that scales in real time to meet your needs.
- You don’t need to modify your applications or run any file transfer protocol infrastructure.
- With your data in durable Amazon S3 storage, you can use native AWS services for processing, analytics, reporting, auditing, and archival functions.
- With Amazon EFS as your data store, you get a fully managed elastic file system for use with AWS Cloud services and on-premises resources. Amazon EFS is built to scale on demand to petabytes without disrupting applications, growing and shrinking automatically as you add and remove files. This helps eliminate the need to provision and manage capacity to accommodate growth.
- A fully managed, serverless File Transfer Workflow service that makes it easy to set up, run, automate, and monitor processing of files uploaded using AWS Transfer Family.
- There are no upfront costs, and you pay only for the use of the service.
How it works
AWS Transfer Family securely scales your recurring business-to-business file transfers to AWS Storage services using SFTP, FTPS, FTP, and AS2 protocols.
