Your client insists on SFTP for raw footage. Be ready in 60 seconds.
WeTransfer has size limits. Dropbox isn't "secure enough." And sharing one SFTP account across every project is a disaster waiting to happen. Bridglet gives every production its own isolated directory and unique credentials — no server required.
How it works with client deliveries
A real-world example. Your production client is delivering raw footage for a new series — here's the setup from zero to receiving files.
Create directory "netflix-series-raw-footage"
In the Bridglet dashboard, hit "New Directory" and name it after the project. One directory per production keeps footage isolated — and lets you revoke access when the project wraps without affecting any other client.
Send SFTP credentials to the production client
Bridglet generates a unique username and password scoped to this directory only. Email the four values below to your client's on-set DIT or post-production coordinator — they're ready to connect immediately.
Client uploads raw footage — any file size
The client connects with their preferred SFTP client (Transmit, Cyberduck, rsync, their own ingest pipeline) and uploads directly. No 2 GB limits. No browser upload timeouts. MXF, ProRes, R3D, BRAW — whatever comes off set.
Pull to your edit suite or NAS
Your editors download directly from the Bridglet dashboard, or your ingest workstation syncs automatically via SFTP on a schedule. Once the project wraps, retention cleanup handles the rest — no stale terabytes left sitting around.
Why production teams choose Bridglet
Receiving large assets from clients is simple in concept and painful in practice. Bridglet removes every obstacle between "client has footage" and "your editors have footage."
Per-project directories
Each production gets its own isolated directory and its own credentials. Client A cannot see Client B's footage. Revoke one without touching the others.
Professional credentials
Send your client a proper SFTP host, username, and password — not a Dropbox link or a WeTransfer request. Satisfies the "secure file transfer" requirement that broadcast and streaming clients often mandate.
No file size limits
Raw MXF files, ProRes 4444, multi-cam RED footage — Bridglet doesn't cap individual file sizes. Your client's DIT pipeline uploads exactly what came off set, uncompressed.
Retention auto-cleanup
Set a retention window and assets are automatically purged once the project wraps. No terabytes of old footage accumulating. No surprise storage bills six months after picture lock.
