AWS Transfer Family is overkill for vendor file drops.
Stop fighting IAM policies and VPC endpoints. Bridglet gives an external vendor a working shared folder in seconds, with a browser portal for the people who will not touch SFTP.
Why teams are migrating from AWS
Setup Time & Complexity
3+ hours of clicking. Configure VPCs, Subnets, Security Groups, IAM Roles, and S3 Bucket Policies. One wrong JSON character breaks the drop.
30 seconds. Name your shared folder, hit deploy, and share the generated credentials. We handle the orchestration and security defaults.
Cost Optimization
Stop paying for "idle" servers.
AWS Console Nightmare
Finding logs or managing keys requires 15 clicks through 4 different services (S3, IAM, CloudWatch, Transfer).
The Bridglet Workspace
Built for developers who hate overhead.
We built Bridglet because setting up a simple SFTP endpoint shouldn't require a DevOps certification. We've abstracted the complexity of the AWS ecosystem into a single, cohesive experience.
No IAM Policies to Write
No more cross-account principal errors. Every credential is generated least-privilege and locked to a single shared folder automatically.
Zero Network Headaches
VPC endpoints, security groups, and DNS are problems you no longer own. Connect to sftp.bridglet.com and start receiving files.
Guest Access Without IAM Users
Invite a vendor by email and they claim their own revocable SFTP credentials through a secure, single-use link — no IAM policies, no shared keys. AWS Transfer Family has no equivalent; you'd have to build it yourself with Cognito and SES.
Browser Upload Portal Included
Vendors without an SFTP client can log in at bridglet.com/portal to drag and drop files instead. AWS sells a browser front end for Transfer Family as a separate web app, metered at $0.50 an hour per unit on top of the endpoint (verified 2026-10-03), and its users sign in through IAM Identity Center.
