What are the Advantages of an On-Premise Windows File Transfer Server?

While cloud file sharing certainly has its place, an on-premise Windows file transfer server offers the greatest control over your data, system configuration, and resource consumption. A few advantages of this configuration include:

  • Minimal Security Footprint: ports, server roles and features can all be tightly controlled and defined to minimize your attack surface
  • Lean Operational Requirements: you have full control over your file transfer server’s memory usage, file system, and resource management with an on-premise Windows server

You can learn more about optimizing Windows server for SFTP in this blog post.
