SFTPPlus

What SFTPPlus is

SFTPPlus is managed file transfer software for automating secure exchanges among internal systems, customers, suppliers, trading partners and cloud services. Its server handles FTP, FTPS, SFTP, SCP, HTTP REST, HTTPS, AS2 and WebDAV. Client orchestration can move files through protocols and services including SharePoint, Azure Blob, Exchange, Oracle DB, IBM MQ and SMTP. Connections can use passwords, TOTP codes, SSH keys, TLS certificates, LDAP, RADIUS, Entra ID, Okta, Google Identity or operating-system accounts. Automation includes retries, error reporting, centralized structured logs and server-to-server transfers that avoid storing the entire file locally. Deploy it on bare metal, virtual machines, containers or Kubernetes, on Windows, Linux or macOS. Security policies can limit usernames, administrators and source IP addresses, and help prevent brute-force attempts. SFTPPlus documents configuration guidance for HIPAA/HITECH, ISO 27001, FIPS 140-2 obligations and protective monitoring; it is not FIPS 140-2 certified, though it can use compliant cryptographic algorithms. The perpetual server and client licences are each listed at $1,900 per installation, paid once. There is no free plan, and a 30-day trial is available. Standard email and telephone support runs weekdays from 09:00 to 17:00 UK time; extended consultancy includes 24x7 support.

Who it suits

SFTPPlus suits organizations that need managed transfers across internal systems and external partners, with protocol choice, authentication controls and automated workflows. It is also relevant to teams deploying on Windows, Linux or macOS infrastructure, including containers or Kubernetes.

Limits

There is no free plan. The server and client perpetual licences have no stated limits on concurrent users, connections, file sizes or transfers; each costs $1,900 per installation, paid once.

Getting started

1. Visit the SFTPPlus website.
2. Choose the file transfer server or client orchestration licence for your installation.
3. Use the 30-day trial to evaluate the software.

Verdict

Choose SFTPPlus when secure, automated file exchange across varied systems and protocols is central to your workflow. Its perpetual licences have no stated transfer, user or file-size limits. Look elsewhere if you need a free plan or require FIPS 140-2 certification.
