The best Files.com alternative for managed FTP
Enterprise-grade managed FTP without the enterprise price tag.
Files.com is a feature-rich enterprise managed file transfer platform with broad protocol support, automations, and integrations. It targets large organizations and is priced accordingly, with plans that start well above what a small team or growing startup needs.
TrueFTP focuses on doing managed FTP exceptionally well at a price that scales with you. You get S3-backed storage, version control, per-user permissions, audit logging, and an API — starting at $9.99/month — so you are not paying for a sprawling feature set you will never enable.
