Overview
SFTP Gateway is a secure, fast, and easy-to-use solution for transferring files via SFTP to cloud storage services such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. It facilitates seamless file transfers directly to cloud storage, ensuring data protection by never storing files in transit. Administrators manage the SFTP service through an intuitive web dashboard.
The standard version is ideal for customers with smaller workloads looking to optimize on cost. This is perfect for proof of concepts, Dev or QA environments, and even Production environments up to 5 SFTP users. For larger workloads, use SFTP Gateway Professional (https://thorntech.com/aws-sftpgateway-pro-listing ) which supports up to 100 SFTP users in HA, or contact us for Enterprise deployments.
SFTP Gateway provides end-to-end data encryption and protection. It runs as a Virtual Machine image in your private cloud environment. Data is transferred directly from SFTP clients to cloud storage locations, like AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, or Google Cloud Storage, and is never touched by a third party. It supports configurable SFTP encryption algorithms during transfer. At rest, files are encrypted using cloud storage bucket policies with Platform or Customer-Managed encryption keys via services like KMS, Key Vault, etc.
SFTP Gateway has been independently audited by a leading third-party security company. The Security Audit report, Penetration Test results, and Letter of Attestation are available upon request.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
You can configure SFTP Gateway with CloudFormation, or as an Amazon Machine Image. We highly recommend using CloudFormation because it configures additional AWS resources you would otherwise need to provision manually.
To access the product after launching the CloudFormation stack, simply grab the host name from the CloudFormation Outputs tab and paste it into your browser to access the Admin web interface.
Please see our documentation for detailed instructions on launching SFTP Gateway from the AWS Marketplace.

Simple and Great
I hope this isn't a duplicate review.... but we're finally ready for "go live" for our need for this and I spent more time tweaking the configuration and such...
Anyway - this is such a good 'simple' solution for setting up a HIPAA compliant sFTP setup. I tried the AWS native product - way too complicated (and expensive), and found this. They are very responsive with support needs. Overall, though, once you understand the setup and flow, this is very easy to manage. Very easy to add new external users. The whole thing is simple and great.
The perfect SFTP solution
I look back on the days of running our own SFTP server and wonder what we were thinking. SFTP Gateway is a phenomenal product, and makes everything incredibly easy. We rest easy knowing we have a secure and well-designed system running, and files are stored directly in our global S3 buckets. Oh, and the customer support is top notch. Can't recommend them enough!
Perfect for our needs
We needed a drop-in replacement for a legacy FTP service that is no longer secure. SFTP-Gateway was the perfect fit. It's much easier to set up and manage than AWS Transfer Family products. Since it uses S3 buckets on the backend, I can mount those S3 buckets on the EC2 instances where I need it.
Easy to setup and customer support is very very helpful!
When looking for a reliable and easy to set up SFTP site integrated with AWS, SFTP Gateway by Thorn Technologies was the first one to come up so I gave it a try. I have to say it was a breeze to setup with their pre-baked CloudFormation templates I was up and running in the amount of time it took to provision the resources. I ran into a small hiccup setting the admin portal on an SSL cert, however, Thorn Technologies was there with exceptional customer service. Robert was quick to respond to my many many questions and together we able to resolve any issues I had. He was courteous, extremely knowledgeable and a delight to work with. If you are looking for an SFTP service that is easy to setup, has great documentation and wonderful customer support, look no further than SFTP Gateway by Thorn Technologies.
