Installing FileMage Gateway on Amazon Web Services

FileMage Gateway, a FTP and SFTP server backed by Amazon S3, is available on Amazon Web Services as a virtual machine (VM) image. This virtual machine image is fully functional upon launch and requires no additional configuration to use. However, you may need to make certain changes depending on your specific use case.
