How SFTP / FTPS Server to SES Email routing works

Source

SFTP / FTPS Server

DocEvent hosts an SFTP, SCP and FTPS server for you. Customers, partners and your own systems upload to it with their own login, and every completed upload enters the channel.

routes · retries · logs
Destination

Email via SES

Files are delivered as email attachments via Amazon Simple Email Service.
1

File arrives via SFTP / FTPS Server

A hosted upload server, not a poll of yours: SFTP and SCP on port 22, explicit (AUTH TLS, port 21) and implicit (port 990) FTPS - cleartext FTP is refused. Usernames, passwords and SSH keys are managed in the console, with a per-service IP firewall and a browser uploader for people without a client. The login is upload-only: a file leaves the server the moment its upload completes, so nothing sits on it and there is nothing to poll.
2

Channel routes it

DocEvent's channel server matches the incoming file to your configured route, queues it for delivery, and ensures no file is ever lost — even during downstream outages.
3

Delivered to SES Email

Amazon SES with configurable sender, recipient, subject, and body. Attachment included.

Common use cases

Real workflows that teams automate with a SFTP / FTPS Server → SES Email channel.
  • Notify a shared inbox with the file attached the moment a partner uploads
  • Give a scanner or legacy system an SFTP drop that ends up in email
  • Route uploads to a ticketing or approval mailbox
  • Configurable sender, recipient and subject - every send logged
The two ends don't have to be the same company — invite a customer or trading partner into the channel and they run the SFTP / FTPS Server or SES Email side under their own account, with their own credentials. Learn how shared channels work.
