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
- Quick Storage API in PHP with SFTP
- Quick Storage API in Go with SFTP
- Quick Storage API in Java with SFTP
- Quick Storage API in Python with SFTP
- Quick Storage API in C# with SFTP
- Quick Storage API in C with SFTP
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!
