Accellion Monday released a virtualized version of its namesake file transfer appliance, which is designed to help IT departments securely manage the transmission of large files that workers typically now send as e-mail attachments.
FileZilla Server is an excellent free, open source, Windows FTP server implementation with a small multithreaded engine (a 2.4MB download, and it uses just less than 3MB of RAM) that is fast and robust.

Over the past few newsletters, I mentioned calm before the storm. Well, the storm arrived this week. Microsoft's Patch Tuesday delivered a series of updates for the Office Suite on Windows, plus the company released an update for Mac Office 2008 that includes some security enhancements. And, if that weren't enough, a prominent security researcher is warning of a new Internet Explorer FTP flaw and there's a bug in Microsoft Home Server that won't be patched until June. Also this week, Cisco released a patch
GlobalScape on Tuesday announced a module for its file transfer server that lets customers grant business partners temporary access to the server without having to set up FTP accounts.
In 1991, Zimmerman released Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) and made it available, including source code, by FTP, thus allowing virtually anyone with an Internet connection to download it. At that time, PGP (based on the RSA algorithm) was the first freely available public-key based encryption program.
E-mail and the Mazda Miata are both great examples of successful products, but they share a similar weakness: neither can carry much baggage. If you want to carry two people in a Miata, you're good. But if each of those folks has a big suitcase, you’re in trouble. And if you want to send a file via e-mail that's more than a few megabytes in size, you also need another option. Say hello to FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and the new ways you can use one of the oldest Internet protocols.
Continuing our tour of intrusion prevention products, the Captus IPS 4000 offers a very sophisticated set of reaction options. You could identify an overload on an FTP server, for example, and initially start throttling traffic for a minute. If the overload continued, you could cut off access from the client overloading the server. If things went on for several minutes, you could send an alert. In all, Captus gives you four responses to bad traffic: send an alert, limit traffic levels, drop traffic entirel
The Java and Python runtimes fail to properly validate FTP URLs, which can potentially allow attackers to punch holes through firewalls to access local networks.
You recently said one could probably not run an FTP site with no public IP address inside an apartment complex. You can use the software at www.no-ip.com or set up an automated system that updates a link on a Web site with the correct IP address. We are
Hackers are circulating credentials for thousands of FTP sites and appear to have compromised file transfer servers at The New York Times and other organizations, according to a security expert.
To test IPS performance, we constructed a test bed that offered traffic at multigigabit rates (see diagram). Two Spirent ThreatEx 2500 appliances offered various exploits, while two Spirent Avalanche 2500 and two Spirent Reflector 2500 appliances offered a combination of benign Web, e-mail, FTP, and DNS traffic.
We live in an apartment complex and have Internet access through our school's network. People in the school's dormitories can set up FTP sites because they have fixed IP addresses. We only get internal IP addresses, so we can't send anything out or set u
Our server administrators have disabled FTP and now only provide support for SFTP connections for file transfer. Where can we find a graphical SFTP client for Mac OSX? Is there an SFTP client product that supports Windows and Macs?
