About SFTPGo
SFTPGo is a file transfer server that speaks the protocols business partners actually ask for, SFTP, FTP over TLS, HTTPS and WebDAV, while storing the files wherever you want: local disk, an encrypted local filesystem, S3-compatible object storage, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, or another SFTP server.
That combination is the point. A partner uploads over plain SFTP with the tools they already have, and the file lands in an S3 bucket. It includes a web admin interface, a web client for end users, a REST API and an event-driven rules engine.
The community edition is AGPL and fully production-ready with all core protocols and backends. An Enterprise edition adds features for compliance-heavy environments.

Limitations
- AGPL licensing is a problem for some organisations
