SSL / TLS Support

Support high-grade 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encrypted communications using FTPS and HTTPS. When using FTPS or HTTPS, file transfers and remote administration sessions are secured.

Trusted Certificate

Create a certificate and have it signed by a trusted authority to positively identify your server as genuine to your end-users.

SFTP over SSH2

Securely transfer files using the firewall friendly SFTP protocol. Create a 4096-bit private key and customize the list of available ciphers and MACs for maximum security.

Strong Passwords

Enforce a strong password policy that sets the minimum length and complexity requirements for account passwords.

S/KEY Password Encryption

Secure the FTP authentication process over unencrypted FTP connections using S/KEY One Time Passwords with compatible FTP clients.

Powerful IP Access Rules

Restrict access to the entire File Server, specific domains, or even individual user accounts with powerful IP access rules. IP access rules can define acceptable or unacceptable IP addresses, ranges, and reverse DNS masks. You can even specify a domain name that allows dynamic DNS to grant access for mobile users.

Highly Configurable Access Rules

Grant access only to approved resources using advanced directory access rules. Use virtual paths to map external locations to a user's accessible locations, restrict access to individual files, folders, and file types, and much more.

Remote Web Based Administration

Administer your File Server from anywhere in the world using your Web browser. Connect using HTTPS to encrypt your remote administration session.

ODBC for Easier Administration and User Management

Serv-U File Server allows you to store your user accounts in an ODBC database for ease of management.

Multiple Authentication Sources

Supplement the local Serv-U account database with an external database through ODBC, the local Windows user database, or integrate with an Active Domain server - all on the same domain.

Granular Bandwidth Controls

Restrict upload and download bandwidth for the entire server, each domain, all group members as a whole, or each individual user. You can even apply different bandwidth restrictions during different times of the day or days of the week.

File Integrity Checking

Ensure that transmitted data has not been tampered with or incorrectly transmitted using an XCRC checksum.

Customized FTP Settings

Disable individual FTP commands, configure advanced FTP command options, and customize the response message for every FTP command - only with Serv-U.

Automated Account Maintenance

Configure individual user accounts to be deleted or disabled on a specific date.

Full Group Support

Easily manage hundreds of users with full group support. Configure home directories, directory access rules, IP access rules, and much more at the group level. Users can inherit their settings through group memberships for quick configuration and easy maintenance. You can even override individual settings on a per user basis.

Support for 13 Languages

When end-users (or remote administrators) login to Serv-U from their Web browser, they can choose to use any of the 13 supported languages.

Web Client

Serv-U offers a familiar and easy-to-use transfer client to all your end-users with the built-in Web Client accessible from their web browser.

Media Player

Play audio and video files in the Web Client using the built in Media Player. Also, use the Playlist feature to turn an entire directory into a streaming playlist of your favorite audio files.

Multiple Protocols Per Domain

Adding additional protocol support to a domain is as easy as choosing the protocol and selecting an available port. Making a domain accessible through multiple protocols gives users flexibility in how they connect.

Virtual Hosts

Easily add another domain to the same IP address and port combination using Virtual Hosts. FTP clients select the proper host before logging in with a simple command. HTTP clients are automatically directed to the appropriate host based upon their connection request.

Real Time Information

View server and domain activity in real-time with detailed statistics and history on each session.

User and Group Templates

Create a template for new user accounts and groups for quick creation. The template initializes all settings and rules for newly created users and groups.
