SFTP to SharePoint connector
Connect SharePoint to SFTP, FTP, and SCP for file transfers
Couchdrop provides secure SFTP, FTP, and SCP connectivity to your SharePoint environment, supporting both Online and On-Premises deployments with full file and folder access capabilities.
4 ways to move files to and from SharePoint
Whether you need manual transfers, self-service uploads, email-based collection, or fully automated workflows, Couchdrop provides a secure SFTP gateway into your SharePoint environment.
Direct SFTP/FTP access
Create SFTP user accounts that map directly to SharePoint folders. Partners connect using standard FTP clients like FileZilla or WinSCP to upload and download files. You control permissions down to the folder level, while they use the tools they already know.
Web upload portals
Generate secure, branded upload pages where external users can drag-and-drop files directly into SharePoint. No accounts or software needed—just send them a link. Perfect for collecting documents from clients, vendors, or anyone who needs to send you files occasionally.
Email inboxes
Create dedicated email addresses that automatically extract attachments and save them to SharePoint. Partners just email files like they always have—Couchdrop handles the rest. Set rules to route files based on sender, subject, or attachment type.
Automated transfers
Set up scheduled or triggered file movements between SharePoint and any SFTP endpoint. Monitor SharePoint folders and automatically send new files to partners, or pull files from external servers into SharePoint. Build complex workflows with file processing, routing, and notifications—all without writing code.

Common use cases
From vendor invoices to automated reports, here's how some organizations are using Couchdrop with SharePoint.
B2B file exchange
Exchange files with partners, suppliers, and customers using their preferred FTP clients. Give each partner their own SFTP account with access to specific your SharePoint folders. They upload purchase orders, you send back confirmations—all automated and tracked.
Automated report distribution
Watch your SharePoint folders for new reports and automatically send them to stakeholders via SFTP. When your BI tool drops a report in your SharePoint, Couchdrop picks it up and delivers it to partner servers, data warehouses, or analytics platforms.
Vendor document collection
Create dedicated email addresses or upload portals for each vendor. Attachments sent to your Couchdrop Mailbox automatically land in the correct SharePoint folder. No more chasing documents or managing shared inboxes.
Legacy system integration
Connect old systems that only speak FTP directly to your SharePoint. Your 20-year-old ERP can finally talk to the cloud. Schedule nightly exports, hourly syncs, or real-time transfers without touching legacy code.
Client deliverable portals
Give clients secure SFTP access to their project folders in your SharePoint. They download deliverables on their schedule, upload feedback and approvals. You maintain one source of truth while they use familiar tools.
Multi-site data consolidation
Collect files from branch offices, retail locations, or field sites into centralized your SharePoint libraries. Each location uploads to their folder via FTP, and you can trigger Power Automate flows for processing.
Regulatory submission workflows
Automate compliance reporting by scheduling transfers from your SharePoint to regulatory bodies' SFTP servers. Set up once, never miss a deadline. Full audit trails satisfy compliance requirements.
Backup and archive transfers
Schedule nightly backups from your SharePoint to external SFTP storage or cloud archives. Or reverse it—archive old files from network drives into your SharePoint for better governance. Set retention rules and forget about it.
