AWS Transfer Family now supports IPv6 for connectors and web apps

AWS Transfer Family IPv6 Support

AWS Transfer Family now supports Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) for SFTP connectors, AS2 connectors, and Transfer Family web apps. This enhancement allows your connectors to reach remote servers and trading partners over IPv6 and enables end users to access Transfer Family web apps using IPv6.

With IPv6 support, you can connect to trading partners and remote servers that have adopted IPv6, eliminating connectivity barriers as partners transition away from IPv4. For Transfer Family web apps, IPv6 support allows end users to upload and download files from IPv6-native networks and devices. Dual-stack support across both connectors and web apps enables communication with both IPv4 and IPv6 systems, allowing you to transition at your own pace.

IPv6 support for AWS Transfer Family is available in the majority of AWS regions where AWS Transfer Family is offered. For the full list of supported regions, visit the AWS Capabilities tool in Builder Center. To learn more, visit the Transfer Family User Guide.
