What is FTP as a Service?
FTP as a Service — also called cloud FTP or hosted FTP — means running your FTP endpoint as a managed cloud service instead of maintaining your own FTP server. DocEvent provides the SFTP/FTPS/FTP front-end, user accounts, firewall and audit logging as a service, while your files live in a cloud storage bucket you already own.
There is no instance to size, no operating system to keep patched and no storage to provision — you connect a bucket, add users, and your cloud FTP service is live.

Why run FTP as a Service
Nothing to run
There is no FTP server to provision, patch or scale. DocEvent runs the SFTP/FTPS/FTP front-end as a service while your files stay in your own cloud storage bucket.
Secure by default
SSH-key and password auth, a per-service IP whitelist/blacklist firewall, and TLS on every connection. Your data never lives on our servers.
Per-user accounts & audit trail
Create a user per customer, see exactly which commands ran and when, and restore or reprocess any file from the dashboard.
