Use Files.com with Java

Supercharge Your Java Applications with Secure, Automated File Management

Java is one of the world’s most powerful programming languages for building enterprise-grade applications. When paired with Files.com’s secure, automation-ready file platform, it becomes a complete solution for moving, processing, and managing files without the headaches of building file transfer infrastructure yourself.

How Java and Files.com Enhance Each Other

Your Java Code Defines the Logic

Your Java application decides what needs to happen, for example:

  • Generate daily sales reports
  • Validate and transform incoming data
  • Route files to the right department or partner

Files.com Handles the File Operations

Instead of coding networking, encryption, and error handling from scratch, connect your Java app to Files.com via our API or Java SDK.

Files.com then takes care of:

  • Secure Transfers: Automate uploads and downloads over SFTP, FTPS, AS2, and more.
  • Automated Workflows: Trigger scheduled transfers, processing rules, or partner deliveries.
  • Encryption & Compliance: Apply GPG encryption, enforce TLS in transit, and maintain complete audit logs.
  • Distribution & Sharing: Create share links or inboxes for external uploads, programmatically.
  • Event Notifications: Send webhooks, Slack messages, or Amazon SNS alerts when files arrive or change.

Why Java & Files.com?

By using Files.com’s REST API, Java SDK, and automation tools directly from your Java code, you can:

  • Automate Secure File Uploads & Downloads: Send and receive files over SFTP, FTPS, WebDAV, and AS2 — all from your Java application, without writing custom protocol handling code.
  • Integrate File Transfers into Enterprise Java Applications: Embed secure, compliant file transfer workflows into the systems your business already runs, like ERP, CRM, financial platforms, and more.
  • Connect Java-Based Backends to Files.com Storage or Partner Cloud Platforms: Move files seamlessly between your Java apps, Files.com storage, and services like AWS S3, Azure Blob, Google Cloud, or on-premises systems.
  • Trigger Workflows Like GPG Encryption or Webhooks: Apply encryption on upload, route files to multiple destinations, or send event notifications via webhooks, Slack, or Amazon SNS — all initiated directly from Java code.

Files.com & Java in the Real World

  • Automated Partner Data Exchange: Securely deliver reports, transaction files, or compliance documents from your Java application to multiple partners, each using different transfer protocols. Files.com handles encryption, delivery, and logging automatically — no custom transfer code required.
  • Customer Document Submission Portal: Generate secure upload Inboxes from Java code so customers, clients, or partners can send files directly into your system. Files.com enforces security controls, tracks every upload, and routes files to the right destination.
  • Compliance-Ready Data Archiving: Archive sensitive files from your Java applications into Files.com with GPG encryption, retention rules, and full audit trails. Perfect for meeting HIPAA, FINRA, GDPR, or other industry regulations without adding development overhead.
