Star FTP Server

Star FTP Server is a simple FTP server that comes with a user-friendly interface and basic configuration options.

Although FTP servers are often advanced software solutions aimed at experienced users, only minor computer knowledge is needed to figure out the purpose of each tool bundled into Star FTP Server.

The plain and simple GUI is the one that takes care of everything, allowing users to quickly select the files they wish to share, while a simple “password” option enables them to password-protect the files.

You can’t configure user accounts and assign different privileges to each of them, but instead you can enable or disable disk writing and ban clients.

Star FTP Server provides a ban list to add or remove new IPs, as well as basic log files to track server activity.

The server settings screen is minimal and comes with options concerning the port and the maximum number of clients, proxy and passive mode.

Star FTP Server doesn’t hamper system performance at all and it’s quite a surprise that it works so good on Windows 7 too, without even requiring administrator privileges.

As a conclusion, this is the kind of software that can be very well used by all rookies out there who are willing to share files via the FTP protocol with minimum fuss.

You don’t have to spend too much time setting up the program and it offers you only the essential tools in this regard. Experienced users on the other hand have no other option than to look elsewhere.
