Hosted File Gateway

Updated Jul 26, 2026

Hosted File Gateway

An SFTP and FTPS endpoint DataMagik runs for you. Trading partners and your own systems connect into it and drop files. Each file lands in your own storage, is routed by folder to a handler — EDI, a script, OCR, a lookup load, or plain storage — and every transfer and connection attempt is recorded.

Not the same as a file connector. A connector dials out to a server somebody else runs. The gateway is a place you tell partners to send files to. See the overview for the full comparison.

Where to start

Overview — what it is, and how it differs from a connector.
Connection Details — the host, ports and fingerprints to hand a partner.
Principals and Logins — create the login they connect as.
Routes and Handlers — decide what happens to what they send.
