Web-Based FTP Server for Linux
Transfer files safely
Simplify file transfers using a web-based FTP server for Linux
SolarWinds® Serv-U® Managed File Transfer (MFT) Server goes beyond Serv-U FTP Server by providing a Linux FTP solution that supports secure file transfers using FTP, SFTP, FTPS, HTTP, and HTTPS over IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
Serv-U MFT is designed with the ability to deploy on and into popular Linux distributions, such as:
- Red Hat or SUSE Enterprise Linux for mission-critical applications
- Fedora
- Linux Mint
- A free OS (like Ubuntu) to maximize savings
- Amazon Linux AMI for EC2 cloud to maximize scaling
- A device-centric OS (like CentOS) to treat Serv-U as an appliance
With Serv-U MFT, you can drag and drop files from your desktop into the program with the ability to transfer immediately or schedule files to transfer later. The solution is also built to offer high availability peer-to-peer sharing, letting end users send, receive, and request files ad hoc for easier FTP transfers. The included Serv-U MFT centralized web browser console is designed to make faster file sharing easier.
Encrypt file sharing sessions with a quality Linux FTP
Traditional FTP servers aren’t built to be secure or encrypt transferred data. You can help better ensure your file sharing sessions are safer by using an MFT file transfer solution built with Linux FTP server capabilities.
Serv-U MFT can let you transfer large files more quickly and easily with features designed for security. The tool is built to encrypt your FTP files when they’re either at rest or in transit to ensure your files are secure from their origin until they arrive at their destination, which can help prevent unauthorized users from gaining access to your data, engaging in malicious attacks, or modifying information.
Manage file transfers more easily with a Linux FTP program
Simplify your file transfer management with SolarWinds Serv-U MFT. Serv-U MFT can help make the process very intuitive and is built with features to leverage your existing infrastructure, such as:
- No processor or core limits
- Native C++ application code (no Java runtime layers)
- 64-bit edition to maximize performance
- 32-bit edition for backwards compatibility
- Supports deployment on virtualized nodes (such as VMware vMotion)
- When clustered, fronted by the network load balancer of your choice
The tool’s user-friendly interface and search bars can make it easier to find existing sent, requested, or both sent and requested file shares. Serv-U MFT also makes it easier to pause, resume, cancel, or remove file transfers while they’re in progress. If you need to dig into a specific file transfer’s information, you can also view a list of historical transfers with the file’s name, data on when the transfer was completed, and even the source path.
Help meet compliance requirements and government security standards
Maintaining security during FTP file transfers may also require you to meet compliance and government standards for security.
SolarWinds Serv-U MFT is specifically built to help you meet government security standards for FTP server, including FIPS 140-2 validation, IPv6 support, and FISMA criteria.
As a self-hosted Linux FTP solution, Serv-U MFT, in combination with Serv-U Gateway, is built to satisfy most managed file transfer requirements to help you demonstrate PCI DSS and other compliance requirements by providing defense-in-depth security to a Serv-U MFT Server deployment.
Enjoy the same FTP server features on either Linux or Windows
SolarWinds Serv-U MFT isn’t just a Linux FTP—you can also use Serv-U on Windows and enjoy the same features you do on Linux.
Whether you’re running Linux or Windows, Serv-U MFT can:
- Let you access files from web browsers or mobile devices
- Provide FTP, SFTP, FTPS, HTTP and HTTPS services
- Automate notifications and post-transfer actions with events
- Provide more control over permissions, quotas, and bandwidth
- Let you add Serv-U Gateway for multi-tier managed file transfer deployments

Do you find yourself asking…
What is an FTP server?
A file transfer protocol (FTP) server is for transferring files between computers or a computer and a server. However, an FTP server is generally considered insecure because the files it transfers are unencrypted.
An FTP server runs on web servers and uses FTP protocol on the server side to manage the entire file sharing process, including transfers, connections, rate limits, user groups, user accounts, and user permissions. The server works with your client-server architecture to transfer files and communicate.
However, a quality FTP server designed for secure file transfers can encrypt your files (either in transit or when they are at rest), so they’re safe throughout the transfer process.
