SFTP access to Cloud Storage

Cloud Storage SFTP

Storage Made Easy® have now made live a new SFTP protocol adaptor. SFTP is one of the two primary technologies for secure FTP networking, the other being FTPS, which Storage Made Easy already supports (along with FTP, WebDav, Secure WebDav and S3).

The primary reason we investigated implementing SFTP is due to a government POC in which access was required to secure AWSGov Cloud files from medical terminals. This was the primary requirement, but because Storage Made Easy works with almost any back-end Cloud. once added, it can be used as protocol gateway for any cloud mapped to an account, note that the Port is 2200

Below is an example of using the SFTP protocol to access a Storage Made Easy account using Transmit (a Mac App).

Transmit Cloud SFTP

Once connected, all data and mapped clouds are accessible.

SFTP RackSpace Cloud Files

Access can also be done directly from the command line.

Once connected we can do an ‘ls’ to get a file listing and the view of the files is similar to our earlier UI view.

Mac SFTP S3

SME Brand sponsor for UK Government IT 2010 Event

We are sponsoring the UK Governments Government IT Cloud initiative next year. The UK Government advocated a creation of a Cloud Computing initiative called “GCloud” which is both an infrastructure as well as a collection of reusable assets/applications that various government institutions can leverage. This was outlined in their Digital Britain report

The Government IT event being held on 28th January is the first step towards this and we are proud to be sponsoring and associated with this event.
