# SFTP

Frends offers seamless integration with [SFTP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SFTP), enabling you to effortlessly connect and automate data flows between your systems and SFTP servers.

Frends has tasks for performing all core SFTP operations.

By leveraging Frends' task-based approach, you can configure and customize SFTP integrations according to your specific requirements. Frends offers a wide range of tasks that facilitate integrations to a variety of systems and protocols.

## Use cases

Below you will find typical use cases for SFTP integrations and how they are implemented in Frends.

### Upload files to SFTP

By using the [`SFTP UploadFiles`](https://docs.frends.com/tasks/tasks/sftp/uploadfiles) task we can create an integration that sends a batch of files to an SFTP server.
