AWS Transfer Family SFTP connectors now support VPC-based connectivity

AWS Transfer Family SFTP connectors can now connect to remote SFTP servers through your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). This enables you to transfer files between Amazon S3 and any SFTP server, whether privately or publicly hosted, while leveraging the security controls and network configurations already defined in your VPC. By utilizing your NAT Gateways’ bandwidth for file transfers over SFTP, you can achieve improved transfer performance and ensure compatibility with remote firewalls.

AWS Transfer Family provides fully managed file transfers over SFTP, FTP, FTPS, AS2 and web-browser based interfaces. You can now use Transfer Family SFTP connectors to connect with SFTP servers that are only accessible from your VPC, including on-premises systems, external servers shared over private networks, or in-VPC servers. You can present the IP addresses from your VPC’s CIDR range for compatibility with IP controls, and achieve higher bandwidth for large-scale transfers via your NAT gateways when connecting over the internet. All connections are routed through your VPC’s existing networking and security controls, such as AWS Transit Gateway, centralized firewalls and traffic inspection points, helping you meet data security mandates.

SFTP connectors support for VPC-based connectivity is available in select AWS Regions. To get started, visit the AWS Transfer Family console, or use AWS CLI/SDK. To learn more, read the AWS News Blog or visit the Transfer Family User Guide.
