I've never used AWS SFTP, as the author of SFTPGo I think it would be interesting a feature comparison between AWS SFTP and SFTPGo to understand what I need to improve in SFTPGo and what you can get for free using SFTPGo instead of AWS SFTP (some SFTPGo users migrated from AWS SFTP based on the questions asked).

SFTPGo supports SFTP, FTP/S and WebDAV and it can serve an AWS bucket (or a part of it) but also other cloud providers (Azure Blob, Google Cloud Storage) and local filesystem.

For SFTP it supports password, public key and SSH certificate authentication, multi step authentication is supported too and you can easily setup 2FA via an hook (there are some examples for Twilio Authy).

Thank you!
