AWS Transfer Family web apps now support VPC endpoints

AWS Transfer Family web apps now supports Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) endpoints, enabling private access to your web app at no additional charge. This allows your users to securely access and manage files in Amazon S3 through a web browser while maintaining all traffic within your VPC.

Transfer Family web apps provide a simple and secure web interface for accessing your data in Amazon S3. With this launch, your workforce users can connect through your VPC directly, AWS Direct Connect, or VPN connections. This enables you to support internal use cases requiring strict security controls, such as regulated document workflows and sensitive data sharing, while leveraging the security controls and network configurations already defined in your VPC. You can manage access using security groups based on source IP addresses, implement subnet-level filtering through NACLs, and ensure all file transfers remain within your private network boundary, maintaining full visibility and control over all network traffic.

VPC endpoints for web apps are available in select AWS Regions at no additional charge. To get started, visit the AWS Transfer Family console, or use AWS CLI/SDK. To learn more, visit the Transfer Family User Guide.
