Solid offering from Solarwinds!

Very robust platform with all the expected bells and whistles of a FTP server. Easy setup providing a number of different setup options (DMZ, Proxy, etc). Intuitive management console.

Honestly, since we've implemented a few months ago we have yet to run into anything we don't like.

Serv-U FTP gave us a quick way to share large, important documents with our clients. Ease of configuration and use a bonus!

The ease of use for my users was the best thing about this software. Once they are trained up, they could upload files and give outside users the correct permissions. The other thing I really enjoyed was the ease in which logs were configured to be emailed to us (with terms of service).

Upgrading, although easy, was always a bit time consuming. As little as it needed done, I always had to look up exactly how to do it before I tried.

Serv-U FTP is an after thought for SolarWinds if you call there support it in the other category in there list of products and its displayed in the support that they provide. They will submit your support tickets to there development team then you'll never get an update I have a critical support case that has been open for six months with no responds. I reached out to them 3 times a week no updates. Due to the lack of responds we had to migrate to GoAnyWhere MFT. Please know that im not ranting but im so frustrated with Serv-U FTP support or lack there of.

Please don't wast your time with Serv-U FTP, to get support from them i had to reach out to product management via linkedin because the normal path for support was not providing me with any answers. six months we had a ticket open with no answers, six months. If anyone from serv-u would like to discuss please reach-out to me

Excellent Enterprise-Ready File Transfer Server software. If you keep up with the new releases; you should be able to minimize any major security threats.

We really like the multiprotocol support including SFTP w/ SSH Key and/or Password Authentication, FTP (if you're stuck in the past) and HTTP/HTTPS is good for those users that can't figure out how to run a File Transfer Client on their machine. We utilize the database backend functionality to store our user authentication so multiple servers can share it. I've used Serv-U for > 15 years. It's my favorite Solarwinds product purchase; though we bought it from RhinoSoft back in the day.

Long ago, they didn't have a good automated user creation system for the database backend. We brewed our own solution using some guidelines they mentioned. I haven't looked to see if that has improved over the last 12 years or so. I'd also like to see a tool that can find individual or groups of full session logs related to a search string (user, or filename/directory). I brewed my own version of that as well. Perhaps they have something. The Solarwinds support site/community is tough to navigate; so it's hard to know what accompanying tools are available.

For a low-volume user, I get all the features I need without a big price tag! With Serv-U FTP, I can host my own FTP server for my frequent clients, and receive large image files from my them, eliminating a few steps that frustrate me when users send images via DropBox or We Transfer.

It is easy to set up user accounts, and allow users to access only the folders that I specify. I also appreciate the icon in the task bar that changes its look to indicate when users are connected, and when files are being uploaded or downloaded -- a very helpful indicator that is always visible on screen, avoiding the need to open the management console. That's a time saver! Note: I received compensation for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions expressed herein are my own and not influenced by the developing company and/or its affiliates in any way.

Support for this version of Serv-U is technically available only through email. However, the support team has called me back several times to work through some issues that needed extra attention -- much appreciated!!!
