# Introduction

HTTP over SFTP is intended for developers and system administrators who need to integrate SFTP file transfer capabilities without needing to rely on a dedicated SFTP library and instead use familiar http requests.

### Key Features:

* **SFTP-HTTP Bridge**: Enables the execution of SFTP commands through HTTP requests, integrating the secure file transfer protocol within web-based environments.
* **API for Developers**: The service offers a straightforward RESTful API, designed for ease of use in a wide range of programming environments.
* **Scalability**: The architecture of the service is built to handle varying workloads, making it suitable for both small-scale and large-scale file transfer needs.

This README outlines the setup process, detailed API documentation, and guidelines for integrating the service into your existing infrastructure.
