file transfer

Overview

This page is the entry point for the SecureAnyCloud Hardened SFTPGo & SFTP and File Servers AMIs listing on AWS Marketplace. The listing is a single product that offers several file transfer products and releases as separate software versions.

Subscribe once, then choose the version you want from the Software version list at launch. Open its guide below for the full setup and connection walk-through.

What you get with every version:

  • Every image is built by SecureAnyCloud on a fully patched base, with the latest security updates applied at build time.
  • Services ship secure by default. Administrator passwords, database credentials and application secrets are generated uniquely on the first boot of each instance, so no default login exists and no two instances share a secret.

Pricing is metered hourly per EC2 instance type and is the same for every version in this listing. The recommended instance type is m5.large.

How to pick a version

  • Open the listing on AWS Marketplace, choose View purchase options, then choose Subscribe. One subscription covers every product and release in the listing, and the free trial starts with it.
  • Once the subscription is active, choose Launch your software.
  • Choose One-click launch from AWS Marketplace (or Launch from EC2 Console for full control). Then, in Version, choose the product and release you want. Each version is a separate software version, named <product> <release> on <operating system> - <date>, for example HFS HTTP File Server 3.4.0 on Ubuntu 24.04 - YYYY-MM-DD. The date is when that version was added to the listing.
  • Choose your Region and an instance type (m5.large is recommended), your EC2 key pair and a security group that opens the ports in the product's guide. Then choose Launch.
  • After launch, open the product's guide below for first login.

You can run several products from the same subscription. Launch one instance per product, each from its own software version.

Versions in this listing, newest release first:

  • HFS HTTP File Server: 3.4.0 on Ubuntu 24.04
  • miniserve: 0.35.0 on Ubuntu 24.04
  • OpenAS2: 4.14.0 on Ubuntu 24.04
  • Pure-FTPd: 1.0.54 on Ubuntu 24.04
  • Rsync Server: 3.5.1 on Ubuntu 24.04
  • SFTP Server: 9.6 on Ubuntu 24.04
  • SFTPGo: 2.7.6 on Ubuntu 24.04
  • WebDAV Server: 5.17.3 on Ubuntu 24.04
  • WsgiDAV: 4.3.5 on Ubuntu 24.04

Security model

Every version in this listing follows the same model:

  • No default login. Administrator passwords, database passwords and application secrets are generated on the first boot of each instance and written to a root-only file. No two instances share a secret.
  • Only the documented ports. Each guide lists the ports the product needs. Open only those in your security group.
  • Internal services on localhost. Databases and caches listen on 127.0.0.1 only. Never open database ports (3306, 5432, 6379) to the internet.
  • Patched base. The operating system is fully patched when the image is built.
  • HTTPS on first boot for HFS HTTP File Server 3.4.0 on Ubuntu 24.04, OpenAS2 4.14.0 on Ubuntu 24.04, SFTPGo 2.7.6 on Ubuntu 24.04, WebDAV Server 5.17.3 on Ubuntu 24.04, WsgiDAV 4.3.5 on Ubuntu 24.04 and miniserve 0.35.0 on Ubuntu 24.04. These versions serve HTTPS with a per-instance certificate from first boot. The other versions open no web port (80/443). They are managed over SSH, and their guide lists the ports they use.
  • TLS on first boot for Pure-FTPd 1.0.54 on Ubuntu 24.04. This version encrypts client connections with its own protocol over TLS (not HTTPS), using a per-instance certificate from first boot. Its guide gives the port and how to trust the certificate.

How to tell which version you launched

The EC2 console shows the version you chose on the instance's launch record (AMI name and description), and your AWS Marketplace subscription shows it too.

On the instance itself, the login message after SSH names the product and its credentials file. Open the matching guide above for the rest of the walk-through.
