Features of FilePulse

Your Storage, Your Rules

Ditch the vendor lock-in. FilePulse gives you the ultimate flexibility with custom storage integration. Plug and play with your existing cloud storage giants—AWS S3, Google Cloud, Azure Blob, Dropbox, even SharePoint. Keep your data where you want it, maintain your backup strategies, and slash costs by leveraging the storage you already own and trust. It’s the seamless fusion of a powerful SFTP gateway and your personal cloud empire.

Blazing-Fast Setup & Deployment

Go from zero to fully operational in the time it takes to grab a coffee. Our fully managed service is designed for instant gratification. Sign up, and within minutes you've got a scalable, secure SFTP server ready for action. No configuring firewalls, no wrestling with software updates. Choose your deployment flavor: go fully managed in our secure cloud, or keep it in-house with our robust on-premise solution. Total control, zero hassle.

Military-Grade Security Suite

This isn't your grandma's FTP. We built FilePulse with a paranoid-level focus on security. Every transfer is encrypted, and you get granular access controls to dictate exactly who can see and do what. Plus, a comprehensive audit trail logs every single action, giving you a crystal-clear record of all user activity and file movements for unbeatable compliance and peace of mind.

AI-Native MCP Server Gateway

Step into the next generation with our open-source SFTP MCP server. This is the secret sauce that lets your AI assistants (think ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) directly access and manipulate files on your SFTP server through natural language. Imagine asking your AI, "What's in the latest sales report?" and having it pull the data directly from your secure server. It's the seamless, futuristic integration between conversational AI and secure file infrastructure.

Use Cases of FilePulse

Supercharge Developer & AI Workflows

Developers and data scientists, rejoice! Use the SFTP MCP server to let your AI coding companions directly access project files, datasets, and logs stored on a secure SFTP server. Need to analyze a log file or preview a dataset? Just ask your AI. It streamlines development, automates data prep, and creates a fluid conversation between your ideas and your infrastructure.

Secure Client & Partner Collaboration

Stop emailing massive, insecure files. Provide clients, contractors, or external partners with secure, branded access to a dedicated folder on your FilePulse server. Set granular permissions so they can only upload or download what they need. It’s a professional, auditable, and far superior alternative to chaotic email threads or consumer-grade cloud links.

Legacy System Modernization

Bridge the gap between old and new. Use FilePulse as a secure cloud gateway for your on-premise applications that only speak SFTP. They can push data to your FilePulse server, which then automatically forwards it to modern cloud storage like S3 or Azure. It’s the perfect, non-disruptive path to digital transformation without rewriting ancient code.

Centralized Managed File Transfer (MFT)

Replace a messy patchwork of scripts and insecure tools with a single, robust command center. FilePulse acts as your fully managed MFT solution, automating critical business transfers—payroll files, EDI documents, nightly backups—with guaranteed security, reliability, and a complete audit trail. Let automation handle the grunt work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SFTP MCP Server?

The SFTP MCP Server is an open-source component that implements the Model Context Protocol. Think of it as a universal adapter or translator. It allows AI applications and chat clients that support MCP (like certain versions of ChatGPT or Claude) to securely connect to and interact with any standard SFTP server. This means you can use natural language commands to list, read, and manage files on your remote server directly through an AI interface.

Is my data secure with FilePulse?

Absolutely. Security isn't a feature; it's our foundation. We employ strong encryption for all data in transit and at rest. You have granular user access controls, and we provide a full, immutable audit trail of all activity. As a managed service, we also handle security patches, vulnerability management, and compliance best practices, so you don't have to.

Can I use my own cloud storage?

Yes, and we encourage it! FilePulse is built for flexibility. While we offer built-in storage for convenience, our superpower is seamless integration with your existing storage providers like AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob, and SharePoint. You maintain complete control over your data sovereignty and storage costs.

How is this different from a traditional SFTP server?

Traditional SFTP servers require you to be a system admin: provisioning hardware, configuring software, managing OS updates, and locking down security. FilePulse is a fully managed, cloud-native service. We handle all that backend complexity. You get a production-ready server instantly via a simple web interface, with scalability and enterprise features built-in from day one. It's SFTP, upgraded for the modern cloud era.
