Wing FTP Server

Free FTP server software for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS

Visit Wing FTP Server

Wing FTP Server is FTP server software for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS that handles file transfers over FTP, FTPS, SFTP, and a built-in web server. It provides a browser-based administration interface with a centralized dashboard for remote management, including server performance monitoring, active session tracking, and email notifications for download and upload events.

Core capabilities include a web client with folder download and Office document editing, an Event Manager for running Lua scripts, sending email notifications, or launching third-party programs, and a Weblink and Upload link feature for sharing or requesting files without login. User data can be stored in XML files or an ODBC/MySQL database, with Windows AD/LDAP authentication supported. Virtual directories map to physical directories, UNC paths, or mapped drives. Transactions are captured in a database for audit and real-time reporting. Clustering is available through Wing Gateway for load balancing, and FTP Rush provides iOS and Android apps for mobile transfers.

The software is available as a Free edition for non-commercial use after a trial period, with paid editions also offered.
