Managed FTP for EDI Data Exchange
Reliable, auditable FTP endpoints for trading-partner EDI.
Electronic Data Interchange still runs on FTP. Retailers, 3PLs, and suppliers exchange purchase orders, invoices, and ASNs as flat files dropped into FTP directories on a schedule. The protocol is simple — what is hard is doing it reliably, securely, and with an audit trail your partners and auditors trust.
TrueFTP gives every trading partner their own credentials, directory, and permission set, with FTP over explicit TLS and a complete log of every file uploaded and downloaded. Files land in durable S3 storage with version history, so a re-sent or overwritten document is never lost.
What you get
- Per-partner FTP credentials and isolated home directories
- FTP over explicit TLS for encrypted transfers
- Full audit log of every upload, download, and delete
- Version history so re-sent files never overwrite silently
- S3-backed durability for compliance retention
- Webhooks to trigger downstream processing on file arrival
Give each trading partner an isolated endpoint
Create one FTP user per partner with read/write scoped to their own directory. Partners connect with the same FileZilla, WinSCP, or scripted clients they already use — only the host and credentials change.
Prove what was exchanged, and when
Every operation is recorded with timestamp, user, client IP, and result. When a partner claims a file was never sent — or sent twice — the audit log and version history settle it in seconds.
Automate the hand-off
Use webhooks or the REST API to kick off your EDI translator the moment a file lands, instead of polling directories on a cron.
Frequently asked questions
Can trading partners keep using their existing FTP clients?
Yes. TrueFTP speaks standard FTP with explicit TLS, so partners connect with FileZilla, WinSCP, Cyberduck, or scripted clients — only the hostname and credentials change.
How does TrueFTP help with EDI compliance and retention?
Files are stored in durable S3 with full version history and a complete audit log of every transfer, supporting retention and traceability requirements common in EDI workflows.
