NAB Show is where broadcast, post-production, and media-tech teams come to find what will run their operation next year. Files.com is on the floor under one line: How Data Teams Automate File Delivery. That is what we do, and more than 4,000 organizations already run on it.
Today, moving media between production, post, and distribution means a pile of cheap FTP servers, Aspera and Signiant nodes, and scripts held together with cron. It mostly works, until a station can’t pull tonight’s broadcast and someone gets a 2 a.m. page. Files.com replaces all of that with one modern file-transfer platform. You get partner onboarding, share links, inboxes, and automated routing, a real interface, and branded portals.
We move files at the speed and scale broadcast runs at. Petabytes a month is no problem, and we’re fast on the wire — fast enough that the segment lands in the edit suite before airtime. Gray Media dropped its old transfer stack for Files.com and now sends video to 130+ stations over automated SFTP, share links, and inboxes, with station IT teams managing their own users. Come find the booth and we’ll show you the same setup, live.
The questions that bring broadcast IT, post-production, and streaming teams to the booth — and what Files.com does about each one.
Masters, dailies, and finished segments run multi-gigabyte to multi-terabyte. Files.com transfers them fast, resumes after a dropped connection, and retries on its own. Petabytes a month is no problem. When a segment has to reach the edit suite before airtime, that speed is the whole game.
Scheduled pulls to every station, conditional routing per partner, retries when a transfer fails — Files.com runs the automation that broadcast teams stitch together out of cron, bash, and a pile of FTP scripts nobody wants to be paged for.
Affiliates, advertisers, freelancers, and partner studios get inboxes, branded portals, and share links. They use a browser or a standard SFTP client — no proprietary app to install, no account to create. The long, non-technical partner list stops generating tickets.
Drop a Files.com Agent at an affiliate station, an edit bay, a remote venue, or a partner production house. It connects outbound only, so there is no inbound firewall hole to negotiate with the local IT team, and footage lands where you route it.
Every access is logged, retention rules clean up on a schedule, and IP allowlisting locks partner uploads to known address ranges. When a rights-holder asks who downloaded the master and when, the answer is in the audit log.
SFTP, FTPS, FTP, HTTPS, and WebDAV all serve from one Files.com site — the way your station automation scripts and your editing and asset systems already expect to connect.
Files.com runs on top of the storage and identity you already have. The bytes stay where you put them; Files.com adds the protocols, the partner ergonomics, the automation, and the audit on top.
Deploy the Files.com Agent at any station, edit bay, venue, or partner site. It connects outbound only — no inbound firewall change, no negotiation with the site’s IT team — so footage flows in and content flows out from places a traditional server could never reach.

External contributors send you content through an inbox or pull it from a branded share link. They never get a login or an app. This is how a station group takes submissions from churches, advertisers, and freelancers without IT touching every account.
Serve SFTP, FTPS, and FTP from one site. The station automation scripts you already run keep working, pointed at Files.com instead of the half-dozen servers they point at today.
Mount the S3 or cloud bucket you already use as a folder inside Files.com. The bytes stay where you put them and the egress economics don’t change; Files.com adds the protocols, the partner ergonomics, and the automation on top of it.
Sign in through OneLogin, Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, or Google. Station IT managers provision their own users and assign folder permissions without going through corporate — the delegated pattern multi-site broadcasters run on.
Encrypt and decrypt files with GPG as they move, for the rights-holder content workflows that ask for it. One more thing the old script stack handled by hand, now built into the platform.
Files.com replaces the Aspera and Signiant nodes, the GoAnywhere appliance, and the FTP-script stack with one product — over standard protocols, with no proprietary client for your partners to install. We match the media-specific tools on transfer speed, and we build in everything they leave you to wire up yourself: automation, easy partner access, a real UI, and the audit log an operation this size needs.
We’ve operated for 15+ years with the bandwidth and reliability to carry broadcast-scale volume, and pricing is published openly. If you’re tired of being on call for a script stack that’s become load-bearing for a workflow that can’t fail, come find us on the floor and we’ll map your delivery onto Files.com.
Large-file transfer, partner onboarding, automated delivery to every station — if you’re running broadcast or media file delivery on a sprawl of FTP servers and scripts, start a free trial, connect your storage, set up an inbox, and run a real partner exchange end to end.
