SFTPGo
Full-featured and highly configurable event-driven file transfer solution. Server protocols: SFTP, HTTP/S, FTP/S, WebDAV. Storage backends: local filesystem, encrypted local filesystem, S3 (compatible) Object Storage, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, other SFTP servers.
With SFTPGo you can leverage local and cloud storage backends for exchanging and storing files internally or with business partners using the same tools and processes you are already familiar with.
Project Status & Editions
SFTPGo is an open-source project with a sustainable business model. We offer two editions to suit different requirements, ensuring the project remains healthy and maintained for everyone.
Free, Copyleft (AGPLv3), Community Supported. The Community edition is a fully functional, production-ready solution widely adopted worldwide. It includes all the core protocols, storage backends, and the WebAdmin/WebClient UIs. It is ideal for:
- Standard file transfer needs.
- Integrating storage backends (S3, GCS, Azure Blob) with legacy protocols.
- Projects that are comfortable with AGPLv3 licensing.
SFTPGo Enterprise
Commercial License, Professional Support, ISO 27001 Vendor. The Enterprise edition is built on the same core but extends it for mission-critical environments, compliance-heavy industries, and advanced workflows. It is a drop-in replacement (seamless upgrade).

SFTPGo source code is licensed under the GNU AGPL-3.0-only with additional terms.
The theme used in WebAdmin and WebClient user interfaces is proprietary, this means:
- KeenThemes HTML/CSS/JS components are allowed for use only within the SFTPGo product and restricted to be used in a resealable HTML template that can compete with KeenThemes products anyhow.
- The SFTPGo WebAdmin and WebClient user interfaces (HTML, CSS and JS components) based on this theme are allowed for use only within the SFTPGo product and therefore cannot be used in derivative works/products without an explicit grant from the SFTPGo Team.
