Amazon Transfer Family now enables customers to delete, rename, or move files and folders on remote SFTP servers using SFTP connectors. This enhancement allows you to easily manage your remote SFTP file systems and execute post-processing actions on the source files once they have been successfully transferred.

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 to 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 and folders on remote SFTP servers is available in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD.
