zFTPServer Suite

This is a software tool that helps set up a Windows based FTP server.

zFTPServer is a multithreaded Windows FTP server. It supports several protocols that include FTP, FTPS, SFTP, TFTP, HTTPS, etc. Strong encryption support of up to 256 bits AES is provided through SSL/TLS support. This tool will let you mount any disk drive or directories anywhere within the home directory of a user or a group. It is possible to merge several directories to make them look like one. If you choose an available option, the server will update automatically. It is possible to control the server through a standard TCP/IP connection. Scripts would be very easy to develop this way. It would be very easy to create new accounts through PHP, for example. Account management features together with reactive and proactive scripting and virtual users can turn this server into a full-fledged integration server. The server can automatically test data integrity, import data into the business system, notify the controller when branch offices upload the latest sales figures and verify virtual users with any system. Through a simple interface the tool will let you set up sophisticated functionality.

The interface is well laid out. Controls are easily accessible. The controls are quite intuitive too. Accounts can be retired after a specific criteria has been met. For example, expiration after a specific date, after a specified number of days/weeks/months has passed, number of downloads performed, etc. is possible. Other useful features include passive mode host/IP option, support for upload balancing, advanced IP-Access management, ability to run as a service and remote administration. This is a very good product and if you are looking for a tool like this, this could be it.
