SFTP remains a workhorse for file transfer, but it is awkward to reach from a modern application. This tutorial puts a REST API in front of SFTP file storage, so uploads, downloads, and listings become ordinary HTTP calls alongside your database APIs.
What you’ll learn
- Connecting SFTP storage as a DreamFactory service
- Performing file operations over REST instead of an SFTP client
- Governing file access with the same roles as database APIs
