SFTP to Azure Blob
Managed SFTP onto your own Azure Blob container
Give the people and systems that need it secure SFTP/FTPS access to an Azure Blob container you already own. Connect your storage, create per-user logins, and they connect with an ordinary SFTP client. Your files stay in your container — no server to run, nothing to migrate.
Bring your own container · no data migration · live in minutes
The short version
Firepipe is a managed SFTP/FTPS gateway in front of your own Azure Blob container. Instead of standing up and patching an SFTP server, you connect an existing container, hand out per-user credentials, and your users move files straight to and from Azure over plain SFTP — live in minutes, with no second copy of your files and nothing to migrate.
How it works
Three steps from an existing container to a fast, ready-to-use SFTP endpoint.
Connect your container
Point Firepipe at an existing Azure Blob Storage container. You provide a scoped key that we store encrypted and you can revoke at any time — least-privilege, never your account credentials. Nothing to migrate.
Create SFTP users
Issue per-user credentials — password or SSH key — each jailed to a single path prefix, for the people and systems that need access. Hand out the hostname and they are ready to connect.
They connect — files land in your container
Users and systems connect with any standard SFTP/FTPS client. Every transfer streams straight to and from your own Azure Blob container — Firepipe keeps no lasting copy of your file contents.
Why teams choose Firepipe
Your container, your data
Files stay in a Blob container you own, on your own Azure subscription, and we keep no lasting copy of your file contents. Access is a scoped key you provide, stored encrypted (KMS envelope, decryptable only by the gateway) and revocable at any time.
Per-user access & a full audit trail
Issue credentials per user or system — password or SSH key — each jailed to a single path prefix. See who is connected, revoke anyone instantly, and export a full audit trail of every login and transfer.

Frequently asked questions
What does "SFTP to Azure" mean?
It means giving an Azure Blob Storage container an SFTP (or FTPS) front door, so people and systems can move files in and out of Azure with an ordinary SFTP client. Firepipe is the managed gateway that bridges SFTP and Blob Storage, so you do not have to run or patch an SFTP server yourself.
Can I keep my files in my own Azure container?
Yes. Your files stay in your own Azure Blob container — we keep no lasting copy of them, and there is nothing to migrate. Firepipe is the SFTP/FTPS gateway in front of the container, not a place your files are moved to.
Doesn’t Azure already have its own SFTP?
Azure Blob Storage has an optional built-in SFTP feature that you enable per storage account. Firepipe is an alternative for teams that want one consistent SFTP/FTPS layer across Azure, Amazon S3 and Google Cloud, a full exportable audit trail and per-user management UI, FTPS as well as SFTP, and a managed gateway they can connect without changing settings on the storage account itself. If Azure’s built-in SFTP already fits your needs, it’s a fine choice — Firepipe is for when you want the extra management and multi-cloud consistency.
Does Firepipe support SSH keys and per-user access?
Yes. Issue per-user credentials with passwords or SSH keys, jail each user to a single path prefix, see who is connected, and revoke instantly — with a full exportable audit trail of every transfer.
How does Firepipe access my container — do you hold my keys?
You provide a scoped key that we store encrypted (AES-256-GCM envelope under a KMS-managed key, decryptable only by the gateway) and that you can revoke at any time. Access is least-privilege, your files are streamed rather than stored by us, and you stay in control.
What does it cost?
Firepipe starts free and at $19/mo, priced on metered throughput — no per-operation or per-listing fees. Your own Azure storage and egress are billed by Microsoft directly to you.
