Customers using AWS Transfer Family can now connect to Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP file systems using SFTP, FTPS, and FTP protocols through S3 Access Points, complementing existing native access via NFS and SMB. This integration facilitates secure, managed file transfers suitable for both internal users and external partners without disrupting existing filesystem workflows.

Access control leverages standard AWS IAM policies and S3 Access Point configurations, supporting compliance and security requirements. This enhancement is available in select AWS regions, providing hybrid access methods for NetApp ONTAP data within AWS environments.
