This offer includes the open-source version of SFTPGo.

To use the SFTPGo Enterprise Edition, which is based on the open-source version but includes additional features and enhancements, please refer to the Enterprise Starter or Enterprise Premium offers.

With SFTPGo you can leverage the reliability and scale of Azure Blob Storage (and other cloud storage providers) for exchanging and storing files internally or with business partners using the same tools and processes you are already familiar with.

Key features of SFTPGo

Multiple storage backends and multiple protocols are supported and are configurable per-user. You can serve a local directory for a user and an Azure Blob container (or part of it) for another one

The Web Client and Web Admin user interfaces support OpenID Connect authentication and therefore can be integrated with your existing identity provider.

The WebClient user interface allows end users to change their credentials, browse and manage their files in the browser and setup two-factor authentication which works with Authy, Google Authenticator and other compatible apps.

Using the WebClient each authorized user can create HTTP/S links to externally share files and folders securely, by setting limits to the number of downloads/uploads, protecting the share with a password, limiting access by source IP address, setting an automatic expiration date.

How to launch the VM and access SFTPGo

To access SFTPGo after launching the VM instance, simply open http://instance IP:8080/web/admin in your browser, create the first admin user and start using SFTPGo.

This virtual machine is pre-configured to use SQLite but you can easily switch to PostgreSQL, CockroachDB, MySQL/MariaDB or an embedded key/value store.

The configuration file is "/etc/sftpgo/sftpgo.json".

Logs are written to the directory "/srv/sftpgo/logs".

The SQLite database is stored in the "/var/lib/sftpgo" directory.

Data for local users is stored in "/srv/sftpgo" directory.

If you attach additional disks please make sure to set the proper permissions after mounting them. The SFTPGo service runs using the dedicated "sftpgo" system user.

Upgrading

We strongly recommend that you keep both SFTPGo and the VM up to date to apply the latest security and bug fixes and to use the latest SFTPGo features.

Using stardard system commands is enough, for example:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

If you are upgrading SFTPGo from a very old version, also check the SFTPGo specific upgrade docs
