AWS Transfer Family now supports IPv6 for connectors and web apps

AWS Transfer Family announces Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) support for SFTP connectors, AS2 connectors, and Transfer Family web apps. This enhancement enables your connectors to reach remote servers and trading partners over IPv6 and allows end users to access Transfer Family web apps using IPv6.

AWS Transfer Family offers fully managed support for file transfers over SFTP, AS2, FTPS, FTP, and web browser-based transfers. With IPv6 support for connectors, you can now reach trading partners and remote servers that have adopted IPv6, eliminating connectivity barriers as partners transition away from IPv4. For Transfer Family web apps, IPv6 support enables end users to upload and download files from IPv6-native networks and devices. With dual-stack support across both connectors and web apps, you can communicate with both IPv4 and IPv6 systems and transition at your own pace.

AWS Transfer Family IPv6 support for SFTP connectors, AS2 connectors, and web apps is available in the majority of AWS regions where AWS Transfer Family is offered.
