| Spec score · FTP Server Software | 7.8 (#28) | 8.6 (#7) |
| Authentication | PAM authentication using the system password files is an optional build feature. | Supported authentication methods include password, public key, GSSAPI, keyboard-interactive, Kerberos, RADIUS SecurID and X.509 certificates, with some Windows-only. |
| Deployment | The server uses one binary and one configuration file and can be compiled statically. | The server runs on physical machines, virtual machines and cloud-based servers. |
| Encryption | The server supports TLS encrypted connections, with TLS-enabled x32 and x64 binaries listed in its installation instructions. | Supported ciphers include ChaCha20/Poly1305, AES-GCM, AES-CTR, AES and Twofish; legacy 3DES is disabled by default. |
| Integrations | The maker says uFTP is compatible with all main FTP clients. | VShell integrates with Windows user accounts and groups and can authenticate users against an external LDAP server. |
| License | The project is distributed under the MIT license, which permits reuse in commercial applications. | The EULA grants use of proprietary software, prohibits sublicensing and reverse engineering, and limits evaluation use to 60 days. |
