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.

FTP / SFTP layer
Amazon S3
Give SFTP, FTPS and FTP access to an S3 bucket without standing up an EC2 FTP server.
Azure Blob Storage
Expose an Azure Blob container over FTP/S to your customers and partners.
Google Cloud Storage
GCS FTP without the servers — connect a Google Cloud Storage bucket to SFTP/FTP.
S3-compatible
Cloudflare R2, IBM COS, Backblaze, Wasabi and MinIO — any S3-compatible bucket works.
Files stay in your own bucket
Worth knowing: on Cloudflare R2 there is no egress charge - partner downloads cost nothing per gigabyte on the Cloudflare side. Your DocEvent plan's data allowance still applies.
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.
What a cloud FTP service costs
Per user, per month - never per protocol, never per hour.
