Need FTP server app to receive & forward images via SFTP to office

[pi6xjdskfa]

Hi,

Due to our company transitioning from FTP to SFTP for transmission of images to office I need a mac running server software at home that will allow my Sony camera on iPhone 14 Pro to FTP images to an incoming folder on the mac and automaticlaly SFTPs the incoming images to the office.

Sony iOS software will only allow FTP or FTPS which my office does not have.

Any tips would be very appreciated.

Go into "settings" enable sharing and then enable "FTP".

I think you could do that without a 3rd party app. Just use a shell script to periodically send data from the "watched" folder.

For example: sftp /path/to/folder user@officehost:/path/to/destinationfolder

Sorry! I mixed up sftp and scp.

Not with macOS 13 and other recent macOS. Needs 3rd party software.

There are three suggestions here https://apple.stackexchange.com/que...-set-up-ftp-server-on-homebrew-for-osx#141637 for ftp server on a Mac.

Sorry I do not understand coding. I have FTP SERVER app from Coral Wu on app store. This allows your mac to be an ftp server and receive files to a folder. Now I just need an app that will watch that folder and relay any new files to office via SFTP.
