Our objective is that, when a file is uploaded from that FTP client to the FTP service on JSCAPE MFT Server, that file should not be stored on the FTP server. But rather, it will be sent directly to that Amazon S3 bucket folder. What we want to do. Here's an illustration of what we just described there. How to achieve that on JSCAPE MFT Server. Sftp Amazon Amazon EC2 EC2 Ubuntu SFTP also known as SSH File Transfer Protocol, enables a secured data transfer between SFTP server and client machine. SFTP encrypts both data and commands and also protects passwords and sensitive information from being transferred openly over the network. To create a Managed SFTP server for S3, in your Amazon AWS Console, go to AWS Transfer for SFTP and create a new server (you can keep server options to their defaults for a start). In SFTP server page, add a new SFTP user (or users). Permissions of users are governed by an associated AWS role in IAM service.
There are a few ways to do this, since you are looking for the most easiest way i would suggest you to install s3fuse on a linux server, this enables you to mount s3 as a file system. You can directly mount it on the sftp server and copy them locally, below is the URL for s3Fuse.
Simple and seamless file transfer to Amazon S3 and Amazon EFS using SFTP, FTPS, and FTP
The AWS Transfer Family provides fully managed support for file transfers directly into and out of Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS. With support for Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), File Transfer Protocol over SSL (FTPS), and File Transfer Protocol (FTP), the AWS Transfer Family helps you seamlessly migrate your file transfer workflows to AWS by integrating with existing authentication systems, and providing DNS routing with Amazon Route 53 so nothing changes for your customers and partners, or their applications. With your data in Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS, you can use it with AWS services for processing, analytics, machine learning, archiving, as well as home directories and developer tools. Getting started with the AWS Transfer Family is easy; there is no infrastructure to buy and set up.
Benefits
Easily and seamlessly modernize your file transfer workflows. File exchange over SFTP, FTPS, and FTP is deeply embedded in business processes across many industries like financial services, healthcare, telecom, and retail. They use these protocols to securely transfer files like stock transactions, medical records, invoices, software artifacts, and employee records. The AWS Transfer Family lets you preserve your existing data exchange processes while taking advantage of the superior economics, data durability, and security of Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS. With just a few clicks in the AWS Transfer Family console, you can select one or more protocols, configure Amazon S3 buckets or Amazon EFS file systems to store the transferred data, and set up your end user authentication by importing your existing end user credentials, or integrating an identity provider like Microsoft Active Directory or LDAP. End users can continue to transfer files using existing clients, while files are stored in your Amazon S3 bucket or Amazon EFS file system.

No servers to manage
You no longer have to purchase and run your own SFTP, FTPS, or FTP servers and storage to securely exchange data with partners and customers. The AWS Transfer Family manages your file infrastructure for you, which includes auto-scaling capacity and maintaining high availability with a multi-AZ architecture.
Seamless migrations
The AWS Transfer Family is fully compatible with the SFTP, FTPS, and FTP standards and connects directly with your identity provider systems like Active Directory, LDAP, Okta, and others. For you, this means you can migrate file transfer workflows to AWS without changing your existing authentication systems, domain, and hostnames. Your external customers and partners can continue to exchange files with you, without changing their applications, processes, client software configurations, or behavior.
Works natively with AWS services
The service stores the data in Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS, making it easily available for you to use AWS services for processing and analytics workflows, unlike third party tools that may keep your files in silos. Native support for AWS management services simplifies your security, monitoring, and auditing operations.

Use cases
Sharing and receiving files internally and with third parties
Exchanging files internally within an organization or externally with third parties are a critical part of many business workflows. This file sharing needs to be done securely, whether you are transferring large technical documents for customers, media files for a marketing agency, research data, or invoices from suppliers. To seamlessly migrate from existing infrastructure, the AWS Transfer Family provides protocol options, integration with existing identity providers, and network access controls, so there are no changes to your end users. The AWS Transfer Family makes it easy to support recurring data sharing processes, as well as one-off secure file transfers, whichever suits your business needs.
Data distribution made secure and easy
Amazon Cloud Ftp Server
Providing value added data is a core part of many big data and analytics organizations. This requires being able to easily provide accessibility to your data, while doing it in a secure way. The AWS Transfer Family offers multiple protocols to access data in Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS, and provides access control mechanisms and flexible folder structures that help you dynamically decide who gets access to what and how. You also no longer need to worry about managing the scale in growth of your data sharing business as the service provides built-in real-time scaling and high availability capabilities for secure and timely transfers of data.
Ecosystem data lakes
Whether you are part of a life sciences organization or an enterprise running business critical analytics workloads in AWS, you may need to rely on third parties to send you structured or unstructured data. With the AWS Transfer Family, you can set up up your partner teams to transfer data securely into your Amazon S3 bucket or Amazon EFS file system over the chosen protocols. You can then apply the AWS portfolio of analytics and machine learning capabilities on the data to advance your research projects. You can do all this without buying more hardware to run storage and compute on-premises.

After I have setup my wordpress site for a long site, I just realized that I haven't setup FTP server on my server, I use Ubuntu 14.04.
Today, I will explain how to setup FTP server on Ubuntu 14.04. Here I will use VSFTPD as it's very light weight.
Login Ubuntu with PuTTY
Click the PuTTY session for your Ubuntu, then click Open.
Setup VSFTPD on Ubuntu 14.04
Run APT-GET (APT: Advance Package Tool) to update existing software packages
- Install VSFTPD
- Configure /etc/vsftpd.conf file
>> Uncomment ( you can use CTRL+W to search keyword)
write_enable is to enable write for FTP; local_umask is to setup default permission to 022, instead of 777.
>> Uncomment
chroot_local_user is to restrict local user to their home directories. (/home/{user}/)
>> Add below lines to the end
>> Passive address resolve
If you use AWS EC2, you have a fixed public IP address, you canconfigure by appending these lines:
If you do not have a fixed IP address and would like to user a hostname instead, append these lines:
>> Save the changes.
- Create FTP User and allow login access to nologin shell. (By defaylt, you can use port 21)
>> Change /etc/shells by addding '/usr/sbin/nologin' at the end, so that it will allow login access to nologin shell.
- Restart VSFTPD service
If you host ubuntu by your own, idealy, you should be able to access this FTP server with FTP client, i.e. FileZilla
Since I use AWS, I need to do one more step
Open port in AWS EC2 control panel.
- Add a new Security Group, and open ports.
>> TCP 20 to 21
>> TCP 40000 to 40100 (if enable passive mode)

Restart VSFTPD service
run below command again
Connect your FTP Server with FileZilla
Congrats, you have configured your FTP server successful! 🙂
By default, it maps to FTP user's default folder: /home/{FTP User}/.
