Potentially. I guess it depends on what you determine as a connection.
But it’s basically an SFTP session. So you can upload and download as much as you would like from a single session/transaction.
Blurb from the website:
“A transaction is defined by a session. So for example if you were to initiate an SFTP connect to an S3 bucket and uploaded five files and downloaded three files, then this would still be deemed 'one transaction'. However, if you initiated an SFTP session and uploaded one file, then closed the session and then started another session and downloaded another file, this would be 2 sessions.”
It’s more catered towards those who use traditional means and who have external users who need to upload or download files with more granularity.
It was originally designed for those who use Linux infrastructure and wanted to get their files to the cloud without needing to use jump boxes or provision their own server. It uses the native applications too so there is no need to install software.
But yes, it also acts like a secure backup service where you are not restricted to a single endpoint and you can control your data.
Also this offers more security such as limiting uploads from
specific source IPs, permissions and ties in nicely for those who script (as there is also a SCP solution).
In the end, there was some interest so figured I’d share it here around the SFTP side and have some feedback.
