AWS Transfer Family

Managed service providing SFTP, FTPS, FTP and AS2 endpoints that store files directly in Amazon S3 or EFS.

Definition

Transfer Family lets partners keep using existing file transfer protocols while files land in S3 or EFS. It supports service-managed users, Active Directory or custom identity providers and integrates with workflows for post-upload processing.

Example

A bank's partners upload daily files over SFTP to a Transfer Family endpoint that stores them in S3.

Exam tip

Choose Transfer Family when external parties require SFTP/FTPS and you want to avoid running your own servers.
