Migration and Transfer
AWS Transfer Family
AWS Transfer Family provides managed SFTP, FTPS, FTP, AS2, and browser-based transfer capabilities backed by AWS storage. It lets external partners deliver GenAI source data through familiar protocols without customer-managed file servers.
Key points
- Servers map authenticated users to S3 or EFS storage
- Identity providers can be service-managed or custom for supported protocols
- Workflows can process uploaded files after arrival
When to use it
- Receive partner documents into a quarantined RAG intake bucket
- Exchange batch generation inputs and outputs over SFTP
Exam tips
- Choose Transfer Family for protocol endpoints and DataSync for high-throughput storage migration
- Land uploads in an untrusted zone and validate malware, classification, schema, and authorization before ingestion
