Temporary SFTP Server for Testing

Create a disposable SFTP test server for FileZilla, WinSCP, Cyberduck, command-line sftp, and CI uploads. It expires after 30 minutes.

Allowed useTemporary testing only. Do not upload illegal, malicious, copyrighted, or sensitive files.

Use this SFTP server only for disposable tests

This service provides a short-lived, password-authenticated SFTP endpoint for checking clients, upload paths, commands, or CI—not as a managed file service.

  • Use synthetic files and a non-production account configuration.
  • Do not paste the generated password or connection command into public logs or documentation.
  • Confirm one upload or download, disconnect, then destroy the instance.

The SFTP endpoint has a configured 30-minute lifetime with scheduled cleanup. Authentication does not make it a private long-term environment; minimize data and remove it when done.

What This Tool Does

The backend starts a Docker-based SFTP server, maps one public SSH/SFTP port, returns host, port, username, and password, and destroys the instance automatically after 30 minutes.

Common Use Cases

  • Testing SFTP clients such as FileZilla, Cyberduck, WinSCP, or command-line sftp
  • Running temporary CI/CD upload tests against an SFTP endpoint
  • Checking application integrations that need a short-lived SFTP server

How Data Is Handled

Temporary SFTP files are stored only inside the disposable upload area and are deleted when the instance expires or is destroyed. Do not upload sensitive, production, illegal, malicious, or copyrighted files.

FAQ

How long does the SFTP server last?

Each temporary SFTP server expires automatically after 30 minutes.

Can I upload files with FileZilla?

Yes. Use the returned host, port, username, and password, then upload into the upload directory.

Is this the same as FTP?

No. SFTP runs over SSH and uses one mapped port, while FTP uses separate control and passive data ports.

Can I use it for production data?

No. It is for temporary client, CI, and integration testing only.
