Files.com is API-first: every single thing you can configure in the platform is exposed in one documented REST API, with seven official open-source SDKs, a cross-platform CLI, and webhooks. Anything a person can do in the UI, a developer — or an AI agent — can do in code, officially. No UI-only dead ends, no vendor console to screen-scrape.
“Great REST API for automating everything, well documented. Every SFTP use case we have is covered, with encryption end-to-end.”
Every Files.com component sits on top of the same REST API. There is no admin-only side channel, no UI-only feature, and no separate developer endpoint with a different surface. What your developers build against is exactly what Files.com itself runs on.
That closes the gaps legacy platforms leave you with: features you can click but can’t script, automations your tests can’t run, integrations that break the moment a vendor changes its console. On Files.com every action has a documented, versioned API call — exposed through the developer docs, the SDKs, and the CLI.
The same complete surface, available as raw REST, as a typed SDK in your language, as a command-line tool, or as the path your AI agents drive.
The web app, the Desktop App, and the protocol servers all sit on the same REST API. Anything a person can do in Files.com, a developer can do in code — there’s no admin-only side channel and no UI-only feature.
Go, Java, JavaScript/Node, .NET/C#, PHP, Python, and Ruby — all open-source on GitHub, all generated from the same API definition, so every SDK carries every feature. No "this one’s behind" gaps. Automatic pagination, chunked parallel transfers, typed models, and built-in retries come standard.
One command-line tool for Windows, macOS, and Linux on both ARM64 and x86_64, with resumable parallel transfers and the same transport speed as the SDKs and Desktop App.
Because every operation lives in the official API, an AI agent built on any stack gets full, first-class access to your site exactly like a human — no UI to scrape, no endpoint to reverse-engineer, nothing brittle to break when the interface changes.
The moment HR marks someone active, your integration creates their account; when they leave, the same code removes it.
Power a file portal built directly into your own product, so your customers never leave it to upload, download, or share.
On-premise servers push diagnostic files or order data straight into the right folder the moment they’re generated, with no operator in the loop.
A scheduled job deletes files past an age threshold through the API, turning a written policy into one that runs on its own.
Typed errors, automatic retries, and resumable transfers — the things that decide whether the integration you ship keeps working a year from now.
Files.com returns typed error classes, not text strings you have to parse. Your integration can branch on the exact thing that went wrong and handle it cleanly.
The SDKs and CLI retry transient failures and resume interrupted transfers on their own, so a dropped connection doesn’t become a failed job.
An API key can double as the password for SFTP, FTP, FTPS, or WebDAV, so a single service account works across every surface it needs.
What developers ask about how Files.com exposes the platform, which languages it supports, and how integrations hold up over time.
Start a free trial, grab an API key, and call the same API that runs the whole platform — from any of seven SDKs, the CLI, or your own AI agent.
