Explicit trust instead of blind acceptance
Verify SFTP hosts, FTPS certificates, AS2 certificate roles, and object-storage endpoints explicitly instead of relying on weak client defaults.
FTP replacement, SFTP replacement, trust enforcement, operational visibility
Secure FTP replacement for regulated infrastructure teams
Replace unmanaged FTP and SFTP server sprawl with explicit trust, structured workflows, and operational evidence.
Unmanaged FTP and ad hoc SFTP scripts create fragmented trust, scattered credentials, duplicate transfers, and poor incident visibility.
What changes
Replace endpoint sprawl with a controlled transfer platform
Use Xferity when FTP and SFTP are no longer just protocols — they are now an operational and security problem spread across too many systems.
Centralized transfer logic
Move recurring upload and download behavior into YAML flows with scheduling, retry, idempotency, locking, cleanup, and notifications.
Operational visibility
Use flow status, run history, diagnostics, logs, metrics, and audit trace to see what ran and what failed.
Safer credential handling
Resolve credentials from runtime secrets providers instead of scattering passwords and keys across machines and scripts.
From endpoint sprawl to structured operations
| Problem | Typical current state | Xferity approach |
|---|---|---|
| Trust model | FTP or SFTP endpoints configured ad hoc, often with weak verification | Protocol-specific trust enforced per partner and per endpoint |
| Automation | Cron jobs, WinSCP tasks, or custom scripts | YAML flows with retry, SHA-256 idempotency, resume, dead-letter, and notifications |
| Evidence | Server logs, task logs, or no reliable transfer record | Structured audit events, traceability, run history, and metrics |
| Growth path | Every new endpoint adds more operational sprawl | One operating model across partner exchange, internal workflows, and regulated transfer programs |
Secure FTP replacement checklist
- Inventory existing FTP, FTPS, and SFTP endpoints and where credentials are stored
- Decide which flows need direct file-backed automation and which need the full Postgres-backed platform
- Replace endpoint-specific script logic with reusable partners and flows
- Enable hardened mode and audit-ready operations before production cutover
