Description

## SFTP Server by cloudimg

A production ready SFTP file transfer server built on OpenSSH, the open source secure shell suite. This Amazon Machine Image delivers a fully configured, security hardened SFTP service within minutes of launch, so you can onboard users and move files securely without hand editing sshd configuration.

## Chroot Jailed Users

Every SFTP user is locked into their own home directory with an OpenSSH chroot jail. A user can only see and write inside their own space, never the rest of the filesystem, and is given no interactive shell. User home directories live on a dedicated, independently resizable volume.

## Password And SSH Key Authentication

Users authenticate with a password, an SSH key, or both, while the administrator account stays key only. SSH keys are managed centrally outside every jail so ownership rules are always correct.

## One Command User Management

Bundled tools make day to day operation simple: create a user with a generated password or an SSH key, set a per user disk quota, list users, reset or lock passwords, and remove users.

## Hardened By Default

fail2ban brute force protection, per user disk quotas and transfer audit logging that records every upload, download and delete to the system journal.
