FTP File transfer shouldn’t be hard.

Do you find yourself asking…

  • How can I improve the security of file transfers in my organization?
  • Is the file transfer with Serv-U FTP Server limited to the PC?
  • Am I limited by file size when transferring through Serv-U FTP Server?
  • How difficult is it to administer Serv-U FTP Server?
  • Can Serv-U prevent bandwidth throttling and storage consumption risks?
  • How can Serv-U help with regulatory compliance?
  • What other options does Serv-U FTP Server provide to make file transfer more secure?

How can I improve the security of file transfers in my organization?

When sending sensitive files, standard email is not designed to provide the proper protection. Serv-U® FTP Server is built to encrypt files using SSL/TLS protocols and FTP and FTPS over both IPv4 and IPv6 networks, which can prevent tampering, leakage, or exposure during transfer. The intuitive Serv-U Client also offers end-users convenient functionality, such as drag and drop or bulk downloads in .zip files.

Users can easily view, upload, and download files using the intuitive web and mobile device interfaces. No matter the time or place, you can get the job done with user-friendly file transfers.

How difficult is it to administer Serv-U FTP Server?

Administrating and managing Serv-U FTP Server is designed to be simple and easy. Administrators can create new users or groups in a wizard-driven interface. The powerful and intuitive Serv-U management console can also provide complete control over file transfers within the organization with the ability to view the details of any file transfer. Control settings, such as bandwidth, storage, access, and permissions, and make sure no file is left behind.

However, you can’t by everywhere and know everything all the time. That's why Serv-U FTP Server includes automated file management, which can save administrators time and make file management more effective. For example, you can automatically move or delete files after transfer or disable/reset username and password after X number of days.
