AWS Transfer Family

If you’re looking to easily manage and share data, with simple, secure, and scalable file transfers, AWS Transfer Family is the tool for you.

Overview

AWS Transfer Family is a secure transfer service that enables businesses to transfer files into and out of AWS storage services. Transfer Family supports transferring data from or to the following AWS storage services:

  • Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) storage
  • Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) Network File System (NFS) file systems

AWS Transfer Family supports transferring data over the following protocols:

  • Secure Shell (SSH) File Transfer Protocol (SFTP): version 3
  • File Transfer Protocol Secure (FTPS)
  • File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
  • Applicability Statement 2 (AS2)

Transfer Family provides a fully managed service that scales in real time to meet your needs. You also don’t need to modify your applications or run any file transfer protocol infrastructure.

With your data in durable Amazon S3 storage, you can use native AWS services for processing, analytics, reporting, auditing, and archival functions.

With Amazon EFS as your data store, you get a fully managed elastic file system for use with AWS Cloud services and on-premises resources. Amazon EFS is built to scale on demand to petabytes, without disrupting applications, growing and shrinking automatically as you add and remove files. This helps eliminate the need to provision and manage capacity to accommodate growth.

A fully managed, serverless File Transfer Workflow service that makes it easy to set up, run, automate, and monitor processing of files uploaded using AWS Transfer Family.

Modernise your managed file transfers securely, with respects to regulated institutions like PCI, PII or HIPPA.

Gain insights by growing your data lake, connecting common business application and IoT devices to a data lake for analysis and data processing.

Increase collaboration and connectivity across supply chain trading partners, to drive real-time insights across business applications like ERP, TMI, or other systems.

Expand your subscriber reach with multiple connectivity options. Apply built-in, fine-grained access controls to protect your revenue.

With AWS Transfer Family, there are no resources to manage and no upfront costs. You pay only for access-enabled protocols, the amount of data (in gigabytes) uploaded and downloaded over SFTP/FTPS/FTP, or the number of messages sent or received over AS2, or the amount of data processed using AWS Transfer Family Workflows. You select the protocols, identity providers, and choose endpoint configuration.
