WS_FTP Server
Secure, auditable file transfer and automated delivery using SFTP and FTPS.
WS_FTP Server - secure SFTP/FTPS hosting for auditable, automated file delivery
Many teams still rely on ad-hoc FTP, scripts and shared folders to move operational data. That approach causes inconsistent controls, gaps in audit trails and manual effort when files must be handed between systems or external partners.
WS_FTP Server centralises SFTP/FTPS endpoints so you can apply per-user authentication, directory-level access controls, and comprehensive transfer logging. It also supports scheduled jobs and automation to make routine transfers repeatable and auditable across an estate.
How organisations typically use WS_FTP Server
Use as a partner gateway to offer authenticated SFTP/FTPS access, constrain partner directories and retain full transfer logs for compliance checks.
Use as a backend automation endpoint for scheduled system-to-system drops or pick-ups, integrating with existing identity sources and job schedulers to remove manual file hand-offs.
Where this product best fits
Best suited to mid-sized and large organisations operating on-premises or hybrid estates, where IT teams manage secure file exchanges with external partners and must meet audit or compliance needs.
Benefits
Ad-hoc Email Transfer
The Ad-Hoc Transfer module lets users send files securely to one or more individuals by sending an email via a Microsoft® Outlook® plugin.
Users can securely send files and secure messages to each other. Increase visibility and control while reducing reliance on insecure email and third-party file transfer software.
Web Transfer
Web Transfer module enables employees and external business partners to transfer files, data and other critical business information securely between their computers and the SFTP Server over HTTPS using a web browser.
Failover
Failover ensures high availability by deploying a second WS_FTP Server in a failover configuration. With failover, organizations can ensure uninterrupted file transfer service for increased uptime, reliability, and performance.
