Data Synchronization using SFTP

Cloud Infrastructure Services

Sync data from multiple clients using SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). Sync from anywhere. Set Manual or Automated Syncs securely.

Data Synchronization using SFTP

Our Data Synchronization Solution powered by SFTP provides a secure, efficient, and reliable method for synchronizing data between systems, locations, or teams. Using the secure SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), this solution ensures that your data remains protected during transfers, making it ideal for businesses that need regular data updates while maintaining high security standards.

How SFTP Secures Data Synchronization

SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) offers encrypted data transfer, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality across every synchronization. With automation capabilities, this solution supports scheduled and real-time synchronization, allowing organizations to keep systems updated without manual intervention, preventing data discrepancies across environments.

SFTP Server Features:

  • SSH-Encrypted Transfers: Securely encrypts data in transit, protecting it from unauthorized access and ensuring data confidentiality.
  • Automated and Scheduled Synchronization: Supports integration with automation tools, allowing regular, scheduled data syncs without manual input.
  • Real-Time Updates: Enables real-time synchronization, keeping files, databases, and systems up-to-date across multiple environments.
  • Cross-Platform Compatibility: Easily syncs data across diverse systems, whether Windows, Linux, or macOS, enhancing flexibility and compatibility.
  • Detailed Logging and Monitoring: Provides full visibility of each synchronization event, enabling monitoring, error tracking, and auditing.
  • Flexible Access Control: Grants user-specific permissions, allowing admins to control access and permissions for different directories and files.
  • Data Integrity Checks: Supports checksum verification to ensure files have not been altered, providing reliable data consistency checks.
  • User Authentication and Access Control: Define user accounts and set access permissions, granting control over who can upload, download, or view specific files and directories.
  • Detailed Logging and Auditing: Track all file transfer activity with detailed logs for compliance, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
  • Supports SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), FTP, FTP over SSL/TLS (FTPS)
  • Create private / public keys for secure communication between clients
  • Supports resume and transfer of large files
  • Multiple methods of encryption including AES 128, AES 256, 3DES, Blowfish, and more
  • Encryption with SSL/TLS (for FTPS)
  • Per-user permissions on the underlying file system
  • Active Directory integration LDAP
  • GUI configuration tool
  • Restrict access to connect with IP address ACL
  • Logging
  • Create Virtual Directories
  • View / Disconnect active users
  • Limit max connections and set idle timeout
  • Ability to change ports
  • Set max transfer rate per user

    • Use Cases for SFTP Data Synchronization

  • Remote Data Synchronization for Distributed Teams: Keeps data consistent across multiple office locations or remote teams, enabling smooth and secure collaboration.
  • Regular Database Synchronization: Ideal for syncing large database files or backups to remote servers for redundancy and easy access.
  • Backup and Disaster Recovery: Regularly syncs backups to off-site locations, supporting disaster recovery planning and ensuring data availability.
  • IoT and Edge Device Data Collection: Automatically syncs data collected from IoT devices or edge computing systems to central databases for analysis.
  • Compliance and Regulatory Data Management: Helps organizations meet compliance requirements by securely transferring and syncing data to regulated storage locations.

    • Using SFTP for data synchronization combines security with efficiency, providing a solution that meets both business and compliance needs. SFTP ensures encrypted transfers, reducing the risk of data breaches, while automation supports ongoing synchronization without manual oversight. This SFTP-based solution is cost-effective, scalable, and highly secure, offering a reliable alternative to traditional sync methods that lack encryption.
