FTP and SFTP only: We are investigating reports of intermittent degraded performance on FTP and SFTP services on Files.com in our primary USA region. This incident appears to only impact a small number of customers. This incident does not impact other network services such as API, WebDAV, AS2, and others. If you are experiencing degraded performance on FTP or SFTP transfers and you have an urgent need to access Files.com, you should be able to immediately connect (and access your existing files and account) using the hostname of our Canada region, which is app-ca-central-1.files.com. We will provide additional details as they become available. Customers with urgent questions are encouraged to contact our Customer Support team by email. Thank you for your patience.
