Serv-U Managed File Transfer Server

Serv-U Managed File Transfer Server is self-hosted software for exchanging files within an organization and with business partners. It supports FTP, FTPS, SFTP, HTTP, and HTTPS over IPv4 and IPv6. Its web and mobile interfaces handle drag-and-drop transfers of files larger than 3 GB and folder synchronization. Users can send or request files through a secure web page, set expiry dates, and email a download link; shared files can also be password protected or automatically deleted after a configurable period. Administrators use a centralized web console to manage users, groups, domains, permissions, sessions, and logs. Integrations include Active Directory, LDAP, external databases, and file storage. Security features include FIPS 140-2 validated cryptography and multifactor authentication. Event-driven actions can send email, run programs, delete files, or write Windows event log messages. The plan costs $335 a month per server, billed annually, and includes unlimited domains, user accounts, and concurrent sessions. A fully functional 14-day trial is available without a credit card.
