This software lets you set up and administer file transfer servers that can cater to a series of file transfer protocols. Versions are available for Windows, Linux, Mac and other OS platforms.
Wing FTP Server is a FTP server that caters to a set of file transfer protocols such as FTP, HTTP, FTPS, HTTPS, SFTP etc. The server provides Lua as the scripting language for setting up and automatic scheduling of files through one of these protocols. The virtualized server also lets you set up multiple servers on the same hardware and IP address. As the event manager executes the Lua scripts, events are notified through emails. The Lua scripting is facilitated through APIs available. It is possible to implement third party software to manage the events too. It enables you to monitor the FTP server in real-time. Each user connected to the server can be monitored and detailed information about them can be collected. Virtual directories can be set up easily. The administration can easily be done locally or through the web. That should really be convenient for IT departments managing an enterprise infrastructure.
Virtual directories, managing disk quotas, user quotas, access rights etc. are possible easily. One concern with remote administration is always the security issues. Multiple authentication systems are available that include XML files, ODBC database, MySQL database and Windows Authentication (NTLM or Active Directory Service). That works with multiple files upload and download that the application supports. For the enterprise role there is another significant feature that supports communication with iPhone and Android based mobile phones. Thus this tool will let you integrate the mobile workforce too. If you were planning to streamline your enterprise data transfers, here is a tool that can help.
