Building a Cloud FTP Storage API in Different Programming Languages

When developers talk about file storage, FTP is still one of the simplest and most widely supported protocols. But instead of running your own server, you can now use a cloud FTP server with managed hosting, GDPR compliance, and automatic TLS certificates.

At ftpGrid, we’ve started a blog series showing how to use cloud FTP storage as a simple storage API across different programming languages. Each tutorial demonstrates how to create a small text file and upload it securely via SFTP — giving you a quick way to integrate FTP cloud storage into your own projects.

Tutorials in the Series


Why Cloud FTP?

Using a cloud FTP server has clear advantages compared to running your own:

  • No server maintenance, patches, or firewalls
  • Automatic SSL/TLS certificates with Let’s Encrypt
  • Encryption in transit and at rest
  • Hosted in Germany with GDPR compliance
  • Works with FTP, SFTP, FTPS, and SCP

Next Steps

If you’re a developer looking for a simple, language-agnostic way to add FTP storage to your projects, try out these tutorials. They show just how quick it is to set up SFTP uploads with only a few lines of code.

We’ll continue expanding the series with more languages and real-world use cases. Stay tuned!
