SFTP Beamer is an open source Web server for transferring ("beaming") over files between two SFTP servers, some times referred to as "Managed File Transfer" or "MFT".

Note: SFTP Beamer is still in development. The basic functionality is there and works, but it is still a bit rough around the edges, and we are currently working on improving stability and security. Contributions and issue reports are very welcome!

SFTP Beamer is built on Python 3, Django 1.8.3, JQuery, Bootstrap, and a bunch of other libraries.
