Protocols

FTP, FTPS and SFTP on the same node

Plain FTP sends credentials and file contents in clear text. FTPS wraps it in SSL/TLS and SFTP runs over SSH. Every node supports all three, so legacy clients keep working while everything new goes over an encrypted channel.

Scroll the diagram sideways to follow each wire

Illustration of the three wires. All three terminate on the same node and the same directory tree. The difference is what an observer on the network in between can read.
  1. FTP

    For the equipment that cannot do anything else

    The classic protocol, kept available for scanners, cameras, tills and scripts that only speak plain FTP. Restrict it by IP when you use it.

  2. FTPS

    FTP over SSL/TLS

    Same commands and same directory layout, with the control and data channels encrypted. The easiest upgrade for an existing FTP workflow.

  3. SFTP

    File transfer over SSH

    One port, encrypted end to end, and the option of key-based authentication instead of a password anyone can share.

  • Windows IIS FTP
  • Linux FTP services
  • SSH key authentication
  • IP access control

Access control

Per-user accounts, quotas and logs

A shared login shared by a whole team is not access control. Every node gives you real accounts with their own permissions, plus the logs to see what moved and when.

Accounts

  • Multiple FTP users per node
  • Custom permissions per user
  • Separate home directories
  • Per-user storage quotas

Restricting

  • IP access control lists
  • SSH key authentication
  • Transfer speed limits per connection
  • Throttling so one job cannot starve the rest

Auditing

  • Comprehensive FTP access logging
  • Connection and session monitoring
  • See what moved, and when
  • Alerting on the transfer service

Owning it

  • Root on Linux or Administrator on Windows
  • Configure the FTP service your way
  • Automated backups and snapshot recovery
  • Scale CPU, RAM and storage on demand
Running it

A real server, with real controls

This is a node you own, not a folder on someone else's machine. Shell or RDP access, power controls, resource graphs and snapshot recovery all come with it.

Full access

Configure the transfer service yourself

SSH into a Linux node or open an RDP session on Windows. Install what you need, set the passive port range, tune the daemon, add your own certificate.

  • Root on Linux, Administrator on Windows
  • Windows IIS FTP or a Linux FTP daemon
  • Bring your own TLS certificate

Where the nodes live

Tier III+ facilities, not a cupboard

A transfer node is only as reliable as the building around it. Ours run from UK Tier III+ datacenters with redundant power, redundant network and climate control.

  • Redundant power and cooling

    Dual feeds and managed climate control, so a transfer running overnight is still running in the morning.

  • EdgeProt filtering in front

    Every node sits behind up to 30 Tbps of always-on DDoS filtering, so the transfer service stays reachable during an attack.

  • UK, London and Manchester

    Low-latency connections through Europe and globally, from two Tier III+ locations rather than one.
