Modern Cloud FTP
Couchdrop replaces your Windows FTP setup—and everything installed on it
Whether you’re running IIS, Cerberus, FileZilla Server, or another Windows SFTP solution—you're managing infrastructure instead of moving files. Couchdrop changes that.
Deploy in minutes
Skip the installation. Cerberus, FileZilla Server, and other Windows FTP software take 15 minutes to install—then hours to configure properly. Couchdrop works immediately.
- Sign up, connect your existing storage, add FTP/SFTP users
- No IIS configuration, no firewall rules, no certificate setup
- First file transfers in under 5 minutes

- Add users in 30 seconds, set folder permissions instantly
- Audit logs show who uploaded what and when

Couchdrop works with your existing storage platforms, including SharePoint, OneDrive, Azure Blob & Files, Windows Server and more
“Couchdrop is a fast and easy to integrate option for getting an SFTP solution up and running in a SOC 2 compliant environment. We were able to go from finding the tool to implementing in less than a week, with the majority of our proof of concept accomplished in 1 day.”
“Couchdrop is very easy to setup and maintain. The solution just works. Once you hooked up your cloud storage and mounted it to an endpoint, all you need to do is give access to your SFTP users within the interface. That's it. You're done.”
“Couchdrop gives us the flexibility to use whatever back-end storage provider that we want. For example, we are using an S3-based service with immutability turned on, so we can support legacy protocols with the latest in data protection.”
“Couchdrop allows our newer tech stack based on real-time events to work with our customer's older tech stacks that are dependent on SFTP. Additionally, it's great that I don't have to manage an SFTP server, SSH keys, and training of our teams to interact with data we receive from our customers.”
Security and compliance you can count on
- SSO, MFA/2FA, and SIEM integrations
- Granular access and protocol controls
- Intrusion detection and configurable firewall
- Over 99.99% uptime with no security breaches
