In their own words

Cerberus FTP Server

Cerberus FTP Server is a secure file transfer server built for Windows. It supports FTP, FTPS, SFTP, SCP, and HTTP/S transfers, with a web client for accessing, editing, and transferring files from desktop or mobile browsers. Administrators can manage accounts through the native user database or Active Directory and LDAP; version 2026.3 adds RADIUS authentication. That version also supports Amazon S3 and Azure Blob Storage as Virtual Directory backends. Security features include SSH, SSL, FIPS 140-3, and TLS 1.3. Event, alert, and synchronization tools support managed file transfer automation, while file access, user, and administrator logs support auditing and reporting. The product is positioned for PCI DSS, HIPAA, FIPS-140-2, and GDPR requirements. Professional and Enterprise editions include unlimited phone and email support during business hours; Enterprise Plus adds 24/7/365 Severity 1 support. Commercial use requires a subscription license, and each license permits installation on one machine. The paid product has no free plan but offers a 25-day trial. Cerberus FTP Server was founded in 2001 and is headquartered in Arlington, Virginia.
