FAQ

The company sftpd is registered and operates in Switzerland. Data is hosted and stored in Germany and never transferred outside of the EU.

Traffic is encrypted because it goes over an SSH connection. However, data is not encrypted at rest, so you should encrypt any data you upload (using e.g., rclone crypt or restic).

Sub-users are not currently supported. While you can still upload multiple SSH public keys, they will all point to the same working directory.

Your storage is measured once a minute. Each measurement is multiplied by a byte-per-minute rate that adds up to $6/TB/month, and these charges are added together at the end of the month.

Your data is replicated across multiple disks in a RAID-Z3 configuration, rendering data loss unlikely. Nevertheless, you should maintain independent backups.

If an invoice remains unpaid after one month, your account will be locked. After a further month, your data will be deleted.
