FilePulse

FilePulse is a fully managed SFTP and Managed File Transfer (MFT) platform that connects your own cloud storage (Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage) to production-ready SFTP/FTP servers, deployed in minutes without server maintenance.

What is FilePulse?

FilePulse is a cloud-based SFTP and FTP server management service. It accepts connections from SFTP and FTP clients and routes files to user-configured cloud storage backends. The platform is entirely managed by FilePulse (filepulse.io), offering a web dashboard for configuration and monitoring. It supports major cloud providers and also offers a self-hosted deployment option for data sovereignty.

Key Features

• Custom Storage Backends — Connect your own Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Google Drive, OneDrive, or SharePoint buckets and containers as storage targets.
• Easy Setup — Deploy a production-ready SFTP or FTP server in minutes via a web dashboard; no infrastructure to configure or maintain.
• Enterprise Security — SSH key authentication, IP allowlists, and comprehensive audit logging that records every file operation for compliance.
• Self-Hosted Option — Deploy FilePulse in your own infrastructure for complete data sovereignty and control while still using the management dashboard.
• Virtual Filesystem — Map multiple storage backends into a unified directory structure, so users see one filesystem while data lives across different providers.
• High-Performance Engine — Designed for maximum throughput, handling thousands of concurrent connections with minimal resource usage.

Who is it for?

• DevOps leads — Migrate multiple self-hosted FTP servers to a managed service, reducing patch and monitoring time from hours to zero.
• IT directors — Onboard new partner upload directories in minutes instead of days, with per-user scoping via the virtual filesystem.
• Security engineers — Fulfill audit requests with two-click export of months of file access logs, including every upload, download, and delete operation.

What can you do with FilePulse?

• Migrate legacy FTP servers — Replace on-premises OpenSSH or vsftpd servers with a managed service that connects to cloud storage like S3, cutting infrastructure maintenance.
• Onboard file-sharing partners — Create isolated directories for each partner in minutes, using the virtual filesystem to map storage from multiple backends (e.g., S3 for partner A, Azure for partner B).
• Achieve compliance-ready audit trails — Every file transfer is logged with user, IP, action, and timestamp; export logs for auditors in two clicks.
