Getting Started with Bridglet

Bridglet gives you a client file drop that happens to speak SFTP. You create a shared folder, your clients upload and download in the browser with no credentials, and your vendors and their scripts use SFTP on the same shared folder. You see every upload in your dashboard, and a webhook tells your systems the moment a file lands.

1

Create an account

Sign up with your email address, then pick a plan. Starter is $15/month and includes five shared folders, which is enough to try everything on this page.

2

Create a shared folder

In the dashboard, click New Directory and give it a name, like "Acme Invoices". A shared folder is an isolated SFTP folder with its own username and password. Files in one shared folder are never visible from another.

3

Save the credentials

Right after the shared folder is created, Bridglet shows the SFTP username and password. The password is shown only once — copy it somewhere safe. If you lose it, you can regenerate credentials from the shared folder page at any time (this issues a new username and password).

4

Connect via SFTP

Use any SFTP client — FileZilla, Cyberduck, WinSCP, or the command line — with these settings:

Host: sftp.bridglet.com
Port: 2222
Username / Password: from step 3

Step-by-step instructions for each client are in Connecting via SFTP.

5

See your uploads

Every file uploaded over SFTP appears on the shared folder page in your dashboard, with its name, size, and upload time. You can download or delete files from there — no SFTP client needed on your side.

6

Optional: automate with webhooks and the API

Want your own systems to react to uploads? Set a webhook URL on the shared folder and Bridglet will POST a signed notification for every upload — see Webhooks. On the Pro and Business plans you can also provision and manage shared folders programmatically with the REST API.
