Why move off FTP?

Plain FTP sends your credentials and files across the network in the clear. SFTP fixes that without changing how you work.

Plain-text FTP

  • Usernames and passwords are sent in the clear — anyone on the network can read them.
  • File contents travel unencrypted, exposed to interception and tampering.
  • No isolation — you maintain and secure the server yourself.
  • Increasingly blocked by modern networks and failing security reviews.

SFTP on SFTPHub

  • Every connection is authenticated and encrypted over SSH — credentials never travel in the clear.
  • All transfers are encrypted in transit; your data is encrypted at rest on disk.
  • Isolated storage per account, fully managed — nothing for you to patch.
  • Optional SSH key authentication eliminates password vulnerabilities entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers.

Yes. SFTP is the secure replacement for legacy FTP. Unlike FTP, SFTP encrypts all data in transit over SSH, eliminating the security risks of plain-text file transfer. SFTPHub makes migrating from FTP to SFTP simple — just point your client at your new SFTP endpoint and use the same workflow you already know.
SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) is a secure way to transfer files between computers. Unlike regular FTP, all data is encrypted in transit. SFTPHub gives you a hosted SFTP endpoint so you can send and receive files securely without managing your own server.
Within minutes. Sign up for an account, choose a plan, and your SFTP credentials are provisioned automatically. Connect with any standard SFTP client right away.
All file transfers are encrypted via SSH. Each account gets its own isolated storage, completely separated from other users. We support key-based authentication for maximum security, and all data at rest is encrypted on disk.
Yes. Every plan includes the client download portal: pick a folder in your instance, give the share a name, optionally upload a logo and set a password or expiration date, and SFTPHub generates a public link. Your recipient opens it in any browser and downloads the files — no account, no SFTP client, nothing to install.
Any standard SFTP client works - FileZilla, WinSCP, Cyberduck, Transmit, the command-line sftp command, or any programming language with SFTP support. If it speaks SFTP, it works with SFTPHub.
Yes, cancel anytime from your account settings. No cancellation fees or long-term contracts. Your service continues until the end of your current billing period.
SSH key authentication uses a cryptographic key pair instead of a password. You generate a public/private key pair, upload the public key to SFTPHub through the dashboard, and your SFTP client uses the private key to authenticate. This is more secure than password-based login and is the recommended method for automated file transfers.
SFTPHub offers simple, transparent SFTP hosting plans with storage up to 1 TB. Every plan includes SSH key and password authentication, cloud-backed storage, and access to the web dashboard. No hidden fees — see our pricing section for full details.
Everything is managed through the SFTPHub web dashboard. Create SFTP instances, add or remove SFTP users, set authentication methods (password, SSH key, or both), and monitor storage usage — all from your browser. No command-line access to servers required.
Yes, SFTPHub is built for developers and businesses that need reliable, secure file transfer.
