CrushFTP is a strong file server well ahead of its time. Not only does it handle serving FTP, but it also does SFTP (SSH FTP), FTPS (FTP over SSL), HTTP, HTTPS, WebDAV, and WebDAV SSL. From that list you can see it is serious about security and encryption. In about 10 clicks you can be up and running with a strong FTP server, HTTP server, HTTPS server, and WebDAV server, with your first user created and ready to login!
Features:
* Events, Event actions that are user customizable. They can generate emails with a list of uploads a user just made, or many various other tasks. You can customize events down to extreme detail. Events can be used to run various plugins which then perform other tasks as well(such as the LaunchProcess plugin.)
* Built-in Reporting There are many different reports CrushFTP comes with to monitor what your servers is doing as well as the activities of your users. It really allows you to know what is going on without trying to read through log files and pieces everything together. You can see summary views of many different areas about the server, as well as deatils such as what IP's a user has been connecting from (are they sharing their account). Additionally the scheduling interface allows you to have CrushFTP run the reports on a pre-defined schedule however you configure them. This means you can have an HTML report always ready and waiting for you every morning for example. The schedule is very customizable and very easy to setup.
* WebDAV HTTP/HTTPS Server This includes SSL WebDAV serving as well. This means you can mount your CrushFTP server directly in the Finder as another drive and work off of it. The finder supports download only for FTP, but supports everything for WebDAV!
* SFTP Server SFTP is not FTP, but rather its own protocol inside a SSH tunnel. CrushFTP supports this too. Its not as fast as FTP, or FTPS, but sometimes its just what you need.
* Automatic Zipping A user can request a folder as a .zip instead of downloading each file individually. Saves bandwidth and time! The folder isn't first created to a .zip file, but its streamed to the user as CrushFTP generates the .ZIP content. No third party applications needed! With the WebInterface the user can select individual, or groups of files to have donwloaded as a single .zip file.
* Powerful Groups
* and Inheritance Users can inherit settings from the group they belong to (default), or they can be set to inherit an individual settings from any other user or group.
* Cross Platform Why should a change in OS keep you from running the same server CrushFTP supports nearly every current OS. If you can run Java 1.4 or better, then you can run CrushFTP. (MacOS X, Windows, Linux, etc.)
* WebStatistics OS X Widget See a summary view from a web browser of what your server is doing, or use the included CrushFTP widget to monitor the same information!
* Live Graphs Realtime graphs showing select key indicators about the server.
* Plugins Many plugins to choose from. Support for third party plugins. See the training videos showing the MagicDirectory and HomeDirectory plugins.
* Shared Users The same user can be used for FTP/HTTP/WebDAV/SFTP! You'll no longer need to create users in different servers and keep their passwords synchronized.
* Advanced WebInterface You have full control to customize the web interface. Two different modes of generating the WebInterface allow you to pick your appropriate standards. You can use either the more compatible HTML generation mode, or the faster XSLT / XML mode. Either way, there is nothing you can't control or customize about it. From the layout to the graphics, its all yours to control. It has a built in ajax file uploader which makes file uploads from your users via the web very easy and painless!
