AWS Transfer Family Now Supports Custom Ports for SFTP Servers

AWS Transfer Family just dropped a handy update: you can now configure up to three custom ports (22 or 2000-65535) on public SFTP servers and pick client-first or server-first communication mode for each one. This means you can handle clients with different connection requirements on a single server, dodge those pesky port 22 scanners, and fix stalling connections—all available across all AWS Regions where Transfer Family operates.
