Managed SFTP
hosted · audited · Australian
Everything below is in every plan. Security features are not an upgrade here — the audit trail, the key authentication and the IP whitelist are the product, not the enterprise tier of it.
- Full auditing, on every plan
- IP whitelisting per service
- Passwords and SSH keys supported
- Australian-based, Australian-owned
- Two-minute setup
- 14-day trial, no obligation
- No credit card required to start
- No lock-in — it's standard SFTP
An audit trail nobody can edit
Every sign-in, transfer, permission change and deletion is recorded with who did it, when, and from which IP address.
The database itself refuses to update or delete those rows — including for us. That is a database rule, not a promise in a policy document. Export the lot as CSV the moment an auditor asks.
IP whitelisting
Restrict a service to the addresses and ranges you actually trust, so a leaked credential is useless from anywhere else. One toggle cuts access entirely if something looks wrong.
Passwords and SSH keys
Every account authenticates with a password or an SSH public key, whichever the other end can handle — and different accounts on the same service can use different methods.
Passwords are stored hashed. Paste in a public key and the partner who uses it never needs a password at all.
Read, write and delete, per account
Grant each account exactly what it needs. A partner who only drops files off never gets the ability to read what else is in there, and a collection account never gets delete.
One service per relationship
Each SFTP service gets its own home directory, its own accounts and its own storage quota. Nothing crosses between them, so one client's files are never one misconfigured permission away from another's.
Australian-based, Australian-owned
Proficiens is Australian-owned and Australian-run, registered under ABN 67 612 478 445 — look it up on the Australian Business Register rather than taking our word for it.
It runs on Google Cloud in Sydney. Your files, your account and your audit trail all live in the same Australian region and are not replicated offshore.
Two minutes, not two weeks
Sign up, name a service, add an account. There is no server to provision, no OpenSSH config to write, no firewall ticket to raise and no patching roster to join afterwards.
14 days, no obligation, no card
The trial asks for an email address and nothing else — no credit card at any point, so there is nothing on file that could quietly start charging you.
If you don't come back, nothing happens. If you do, you pick a plan then, not now.
We can't read your files
Our admin console manages services, accounts and plans. It has no file browser — support can see that a file moved, its name and its size, never its contents.
Card details never reach our servers either; your browser sends them straight to Stripe.
Storage limits that are real
Each service has its own storage quota — the limit is per service, not a total across your account — enforced on the filesystem itself, so a runaway upload stops instead of quietly becoming a bill. You can see exactly what a service is using in the dashboard.
No lock-in
It's standard SFTP, not a proprietary client or an agent you have to install. Anything you already use — WinSCP, FileZilla, a shell script, your ETL tool — connects without changes.
Your files leave the same way they arrived. Close the account and the data goes with you.
A person, not a ticket queue
support@proficiens.io reaches someone who works on this system. Managed SFTP is our first service and we're building the business around it, so you'll get someone who knows how it works — and no roadmap promises we can't keep.
Evaluating us for a client's data? Ask anything that isn't answered here — we'd rather field the hard questions before you commit than after.
