Frequently Asked Questions
Who would find SFTP Gateway useful?
SFTP Gateway is ideal for a solution architect or development lead who is designing a new AWS application or migrating an existing application to AWS and is required to maintain legacy file-based interfaces with several independent or third-party systems.
How is SFTP Gateway different from other S3-based file system products?
The SFTP Gateway uses a different approach than other products. Rather than using a permanent mount or virtual file system, it monitors file descriptors as new files are written to SFTP directories. Once the file transfer is finished and the file descriptor is closed, it pushes the entire file to an S3 bucket.
How much does SFTP Gateway cost?
SFTP Gateway costs $0.06 per hour for all EC2 instance types and AWS regions. This does not include the hourly cost of using EC2.
