In their own words
CrushFTP
CrushFTP is a file transfer server for secure transfers across a range of operating systems. Administrators can manage users, preferences, reports and plugins in a web browser. Supported secure protocols include FTPES, FTPS, SFTP, SCP and HTTPS; authentication options include LDAP, RADIUS, SAML and OAuth, with MFA/OTP validation available. Files can be encrypted in transit and at rest using PGP. The server connects to storage and services including S3, Google Drive, Azure, Dropbox, OneDrive, SharePoint, Box, SMB and Hadoop. Enterprise tools include scheduling, monitoring, automated reporting, DMZ capability and high availability through session replication. CrushSync synchronizes files in real time and can send changed portions of large files with compression. The web interface supports resumable transfers, WebDAV clients for iOS and Android, thumbnails, slideshows and movie playback. The full normal-license download has a 30-day trial; the site says only CrushFTP 11 is currently supported. Plans include a Small Business option at $70 a month, listed as a perpetual license.
