Ability FTP Server

With Ability FTP Server you can host your own FTP server and configure it via an intuitive administration dashboard. Providing advanced monitoring and logging capabilities, this application allows secure file transfers, facilitating backups from a client to the server.

The server should start automatically; if it does not, consider restarting Ability FTP Server with administrator rights. Details regarding the server status are available in its main window, alongside information about the amounts of uploaded and downloaded data, the number of active and total connections, failed login attempts, and overall file activity.

These statistics are not only available for the current session. Actually, Ability FTP Server can be configured to store and then display server activity information in any time period, be it the current day, week or year. And since an image is like a thousand words, you get to see activity graphs for data transfers, number of connections, uploads and downloads.

The current connections can be monitored up close, and transfers can be stopped at any type with the push of a button. Moreover, the server admin can easily disconnect all the clients if suspicious activity is detected.

As far as security is concerned, Ability FTP Server is capable of protecting server data and user accounts. It uses 256-bit SSL / TLS encryption to secure stored files, creating certificates to authorize access to data.

The administrator can create multiple restrictions and access rules. Specific IP addresses can be automatically blocked and the access rights can be defined for individual accounts, user groups or virtual folders. Allowed file types can be configured, disk quotas can be controlled, and the transfer speed can be limited to prevent server overload.

There is a collection of predefined server messages to display to the client user, which you can customize to your liking.

Allowing remote server administration and monitoring, Ability FTP Server is a good choice if you are looking for a reliable tool of this kind. It retrieves connection counts and reports about file and folder actions, enabling the administrator to fully control accounts and permissions. And since it ensures compatibility with all the standard FTP clients, you can set up new connections with ease to transfer files to the server.
