This pattern describes how to migrate an on-premises file transfer solution that uses the Secure Shell (SSH) File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud by using the AWS Transfer for SFTP service. Users generally connect to an SFTP server either through its domain name or by fixed IP. This pattern covers both cases.
AWS Transfer for SFTP is a member of the AWS Transfer Family. It is a secure transfer service that you can use to transfer files into and out of AWS storage services over SFTP. You can use AWS Transfer for SFTP with Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) or Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS). This pattern uses Amazon S3 for storage.
