Nightly is a developer-first platform for receiving, transforming, and sending files via SFTP. These docs will take you through the process of using the API to start accepting your first files from clients. Here’s an example of how easy it is to create an SFTP bucket and start receiving files from your customers:
index.ts
const nightly = new Nightly({ token: "******" });

// Create an SFTP bucket
const bucket = await nightly.buckets.create({
  name: "🚀",
});

// Provision a user
const user = await nightly.users.create({
  bucket_id: bucket.id,
  username: "user1",
  password: "********",
});

// 🎉 Ready to receive files!
console.log(`Ready to login: sftp ${user.username}@${bucket.host}`);
