SFTP Gateway Overview

What is SFTP Gateway?

SFTP Gateway is a cross-cloud SFTP server that lets you simply, securely, and affordably give SFTP users access to cloud storage locations like Amazon S3, Azure Blob, Google Cloud Storage, and Alibaba Object Storage Service (OSS). One of the biggest differences between SFTP Gateway and other managed file transfer products is that SFTP Gateway is deployed in your private cloud environment. Unlike with many other managed file transfer software companies, Thorn Technologies doesn’t touch your data or infrastructure, which is huge in an age of data breaches. Another Thorn Technologies product, StorageLink, is a web-based file transfer tool that allows users to move files to private cloud storage locations using a simple drag-and-drop interface. Thousands of customers worldwide use the two products, which come with free email support from Thorn Tech’s responsive team.

It enables you to transition from an outdated, restrictive solution to a more flexible, self-managed system. Because it’s deployed in the organization’s private cloud environment, third parties don’t handle the data like with other file transfer solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
