AWS Transfer Family offers predefined security policies for SFTP connectors

The article discusses AWS Transfer Family's predefined security policies for SFTP connectors, which provide flexibility in controlling cryptographic algorithms used for establishing connections with remote SFTP servers, enabling compatibility with a wider range of remote server configurations.

Specifically, the article covers:

• SFTP connectors enable copying files at scale between remote SFTP servers and Amazon S3
• Predefined security policies allow selecting the set of SSH cryptographic algorithms used by connectors when negotiating with remote servers
• A default policy supports the most secure algorithms, while an alternate policy supports a wider set of algorithms for compatibility with servers that do not overlap with the default policy
• Predefined security policies for SFTP connectors are available in all AWS Regions where AWS Transfer Family is available
