We always use IIS' FTP service but recently we have had a few problems with it; what FTP service do you recomend for IIS?

We use Windows Server and Windows XP in the clients.

A free version is a must, We are now considering FileZilla and WarFtp, We will be having 100 concurrent connections.

Filezilla; it's free, easy to set up and manage but very powerful. Ability to use non directory users is a big plus.

My company makes a high quality file server with access points for FTP/FTPS/SFTP/WebDav/HTTP/HTTPS.

The product name is Null FTP Server and there is a free version available.

Some of the features:

  • REST HTTP API to control the server
  • Remote administration for 1 or more servers.
  • x86 and x64 variants are available.
  • User authentication is supported with windows user accounts, active directory, and/or built-in accounts.
  • You can either lock a user account into a directory or use the server's root directory.
  • Virtual directories are also supported.
  • several other key features and screenshots

  • I have to say, that I was skeptical at first and I tried your FTP server and its great. Great job with that. The config screen for SSL access is especially nice... great job making it easy to understand. ;-) – djangofan Oct 20 '09 at 20:46

IIS7 has a completely new FTP component (separate download!) which is a big step up - try to upgrade to Server 2008 and use it if possible ;)

A few of the "features" are ftp over ssl, better user isolation, utf8 and ipv6, support for virtual hosts (think web host header separation)...

We just deployed Gene6 FTP Server onto our shared platform. It performs pretty well (1200-1300 sites per server), it's not expensive, and it has a COM API so you can script pretty much all of the configuration without too much fuss.

Edit:

When OP originally asked this question 'A free version is a must' was not specified at the time I answered.

The two biggies are Filezilla (free) and Serv-U. I've had really good luck with both of them. Serv-U has gotten progressively more expensive over the years. I seem to remember it being really cheap at some point.

    I used Serv-U for years and was curious on the price. I do believe it has gone up some but I don't remember what I've paid for it in the past. – Chris Porter May 05 '09 at 03:03
