AWS Transfer Family SFTP connectors can now delete, rename or move files on remote SFTP servers

AWS Transfer Family now enables you to delete, rename, or move files on remote SFTP servers using SFTP connectors. This enhancement allows you to easily manage files and directories stored on remote SFTP file systems and keep them up to date.

SFTP connectors provide fully managed and low-code capability to copy files between remote SFTP servers and Amazon S3. You can now organize your remote directories by deleting, renaming or moving source files to archive locations after they have been copied from the remote server. This helps you ensure that your remote directories remain current and prevent duplicate file transfers during subsequent job runs. These new features add to the existing SFTP connector functionalities, including capabilities to list remote directory contents and execute bidirectional file transfers.

SFTP connectors support for deleting, renaming and moving files on remote SFTP servers is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Transfer Family is available. To learn more about SFTP connectors, take the self paced workshop or visit the documentation. For information on pricing, see AWS Transfer Family pricing.
