Sending data to a provider's storage over an API is likely more reliable and secure than setting up your own SFTP server on a VM in the same provider. Using the provider's API typically ensures better integration, automatic updates, and optimized security measures maintained by the provider. These measures often surpass the security and reliability of a manually set up SFTP server, which requires constant updates and maintenance on the user's part.
B: Security Guidance p.122 "Ensure that you are protecting your data as it moves to the cloud. This necessitates understanding your provider’s data migration mechanisms, as leveraging provider mechanisms is often more secure and cost effective than “manual” data transfer methods such as Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). For example, sending data to a provider’s object storage over an API is likely much more reliable and secure than setting up your own SFTP server on a virtual machine in the same provider."
