Clicks For Your Users. Code For Your Developers.
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 can do in code, officially. So can an AI agent. There are no UI-only dead ends and no vendor console to screen-scrape.
A Developer-Ready Platform, Not Just A UI
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. On those platforms there are features you can click but can’t script, automations your tests can’t run, and 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.
“Great REST API for automating everything, well documented. Every SFTP use case we have is covered, with encryption end-to-end.”
One API, Every Way You Want To Reach It
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.
First-Class Access For AI Agents
Every operation lives in the official API, so an AI agent built on any stack gets full access to your site, exactly like a human. There’s no UI to scrape and no endpoint to reverse-engineer, so nothing breaks when the interface changes.
A REST API That Runs The Whole Platform
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, so nothing you need is ever locked away from your scripts.
Seven Official SDKs, Every Feature In Each
Go, Java, JavaScript/Node, .NET/C#, PHP, Python, and Ruby. All are open-source on GitHub and 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.
A Cross-Platform CLI
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.
What Teams Build On The API
Provision Users From Your Directory
The moment HR marks someone active, your integration creates their account. When they leave, the same code removes it, so a departed employee can’t keep access you forgot to revoke.
Embed A File Experience In Your App
Power a file portal built directly into your own product, so your customers never leave it to upload, download, or share.
Auto-Upload From On-Prem Systems
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.
Enforce Retention In Code
A scheduled job deletes files past an age threshold through the API. Your written retention policy becomes one that runs on its own, so the audit always finds it enforced.
Built To Be Programmed Against
Typed errors, automatic retries, and resumable transfers. These are the things that decide whether the integration you ship still works a year from now.
Errors You Can Program Against
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.
Built-In Retries And Resumable Transfers
The SDKs and CLI retry transient failures and resume interrupted transfers on their own, so a dropped connection doesn’t become a failed job.
One Credential Across API And Protocols
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.
API, SDK & CLI Questions
What developers ask about how Files.com exposes the platform, which languages it supports, and how integrations hold up over time.
