## What it is
SFTPGo is a full-featured, highly configurable file transfer server supporting SFTP, SCP, FTP/S, HTTP/S, and WebDAV, with pluggable storage backends including local filesystem, encrypted filesystem, S3-compatible object storage, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob, and other SFTP servers. It includes a WebAdmin/WebClient UI, REST API, event-driven automation, quotas, multi-factor authentication, and Prometheus metrics, with an open-source AGPLv3 community edition and a commercial Enterprise edition.

## Use cases
- run a self-hosted SFTP server backed by S3
- expose cloud storage over FTPS or WebDAV
- secure file exchange with business partners
- automate file transfer workflows on upload events
- provide per-user isolated folders with quotas on cloud buckets
- replace legacy FTP servers with a modern managed file transfer platform
- serve files from Azure Blob or Google Cloud Storage via SFTP

## When to choose
- you need a production-ready multi-protocol file transfer server with cloud storage backends
- you want per-user virtual folders, quotas, and granular permissions
- you need MFA, brute-force protection, audit logging, and data-at-rest encryption
- you want a WebAdmin UI, REST API, and Terraform provider for automation
- you deploy on Linux, Windows, Docker, or Kubernetes

## When to avoid
- you need a permissively licensed (non-AGPL) solution for commercial redistribution
- you only need a simple one-off file share without user management
- you require enterprise features like IMAP ingestion, advanced HA, or vendor support without a commercial license
- you want a lightweight SFTP server with minimal configuration
