Benefits of Using SFTP to Transfer Files

Using SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) to transfer files from one server to another offers several advantages:

How to Make SFTP Transfer File from One Server to Another

To let SFTP transfer files between servers, you can take advantage of MultCloud, a free and professional cloud file service. After you add your SFTP servers to MultCloud, you directly access the SFTP files on it and manage them with functions like Copy to, Copy, Cut, Delete, Rename, and Share. If you do not like to copy and paste to transfer files between servers, you can consider utilizing “Copy to” which can directly save files to another SFTP server.

Besides, if you pursue more customizable options, you can use Cloud Transfer. It helps establish an automatic file transfer task. Moreover, you are allowed to filter the files you want to transfer or ignore by file extensions and set a preferred time to auto-start this task. Moreover, if you want to transfer files from one SFTP server to another because the current server is overloaded, you can choose to let the task delete the transferred files after the task is completed.

There are specific steps for using Cloud Transfer and “Copy to” to move files from one SFTP server to another.
