Secure Encrypted File Sharing Service
Transfer files safely inside and outside your organization, regardless of their size, with Serv-U MFT Server.
Protect business data with safe file sharing software
File sharing is a crucial component of any business. Files are constantly traveling between users and devices and can contain confidential information. Secure FTP file transfers can help make it easier to transfer files to the people who need them without exposing yourself to potential risks, ensuring peace of mind.
SolarWinds Serv-U Managed File Transfer Server (Serv-U MFT) comes with built-in security features designed to make secure file sharing for business easier. With Serv-U MFT, you can set files to be password-protected, automatically expire, and be deleted after a configurable period. The storage solution also offers automatic IP lockouts to prevent brute-force attacks. You can even use FIPS 140-2 validated cryptography as needed for added security.
Maintain security while using the most common file sharing protocols
With Serv-U MFT, you can use the software you already have—and your employees are used to using—to help securely transfer files. The SolarWinds solution supports the five most common file transfer protocols: FTP, FTPS, SFTP, HTTP, and HTTPS. Clients for each protocol can connect to Serv-U without needing to install any additional software. For example, for FTP, any FTP client, including FTP Voyager, FTP scripts, tablets, desktops, servers, and smartphones, can connect to Serv-U safely without needing to install any extra software. The Serv-U client allows you to download, edit, and upload files from any desktop web browser.
Secure file sharing lets users send files to and request files from anyone. When deployed in your data center, Serv-U Managed File Transfer Server provides this popular “ad hoc” file transfer service to your end users on your existing infrastructure, and under the control of your existing security policy. Safe file sharing is now easier with a host of advanced features, like the ability to share files that are already on the server and the ability to control server-wide settings.
Make safe file sharing easy for anyone, no matter their level of experience
The SolarWinds Serv-U MFT solution doesn’t require the installation of any additional software, making it easy for anyone to use, regardless of their level of experience with secure file sharing software.
Serv-U MFT includes features built to make it easier to share large files, such as:
- Links to identify how to start sending or requesting files
- Similar sending and requesting interfaces, meaning users only need to learn to use one interface instead of two
- Optional file messages, expirations, and passwords, so you don’t need to jump through extra hoops for files that don’t require extra security measures
- A progress bar during file uploads
- Customizable email notifications that can clearly explain what to do next
- Automated file management support to delete files after a set time interval
Share files from anywhere with a file sharing solution that functions across device types
Sometimes you need to view or share a file from a device that isn’t your work computer. Whether it’s a smartphone, a tablet, or even an e-reader, SolarWinds Serv-U MFT has you covered. You can use the solution on desktops and servers as usual, but the Serv-U mobile interface takes it even further. You can view documents from popular apps on Apple and Android mobile devices, in addition to e-readers like the Kindle Fire. The Serv-U management console is also accessible from any web browser or tablet.
Serv-U MFT Server is designed to take accessibility and ease to use one step further, offering various user management options. These include the ability to integrate with Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP servers, allowing for seamless synchronization to your AD database with the Serv-U MFT Server. This integration can allow you to quickly add users, and users can also log in to Serv-U with their AD domain credentials when Windows authentication is enabled in Serv-U settings.
Install and configure your file sharing platform, typically in minutes
When selecting your secure file sharing solution, look to an option that simplifies file deployment and maintenance across your environments. With SolarWinds Serv-U MFT Server, you can deploy the solution in your data center, virtual machine, or private cloud. The solution also makes it easier to leverage existing NAS, DB, monitoring, firewall, and other IT infrastructure. Also, instead of taking hours to install and configure, you can typically complete the entire Serv-U MFT setup in just a few minutes.
