An alternative to doing file based SFTP is to just treat SFTP like an API. A company I work for implemented an SFTP service where every operation simply translates to some SQL DB lookup. And a file download kicks off a larger SQL query and generates the report on the fly, streaming the result straight through to the SFTP client. Works great! SFTP can be an API just like HTTP. Under the hood the protocol is reasonably contained and doesn't require a filesystem backend at all. Depends a lot on the usecase of course. See https://github.com/pkg/sftp
