SilverSHielD application that was created to be a SSH (SSH2) and SFTP server.It features 3 authentication types (including public-key auth with multiple keys per user) as well as a good SFTP subsystem and channel forwarding. And it has some nice security features such as a forced delay upon new connection (useful to defeat brute-force attacks) and a handy "tarpit" to ban attackers' IPs.
Also, it fully supports virtual folders with per-folder security. And its remote management console allows you to manage SilverSHielD from anywhere. Furthermore, you can use the Command-Line Interface (CLI) to remotely configure your SilverSHielD server and integrate its management into 3rd party management tools.
NOTE: The Free edition of SilverSHielD can only be used for non-commercial uses.
Here are some key features of "SilverSHielD":

· Compression (Zlib)
Administration:
· Administration is performed though a modern Management Console, included in the download package, which establishes a secure channel with the SilverSHielD server and allows remote configuration of one or many servers
· Alternatively you can take advantage of the Command-Line Interface (CLI) to integrate SilverSHielD management into your workflow, even using 3rd party management tools (provided such tools can call a command line application)
Requirements:
· Storage: at least 20 Mb free hard-disk space
· Network: at least one TCP/IP network connection
