CrushFTP, LLC

Put simply, CrushFTP is a secure high speed file transfer server that runs on almost any OS. It handles a wide array of protocols, and security options. It gives the server administrator the ability to customize, monitor, and control every aspect of the server’s operations. CrushFTP is stand alone and self contained. It doesn’t run on top of another vendors’ server code, or rely on another vendors application container. The HTTP server isn’t based on Tomcat, or others. This means that when vulnerabilities are discovered for Tomcat, you don’t have to go run and patch your server to keep it secure. CrushFTP maintains its own security stack, which is comprised of industry standard, enterprise-grade technologies. This also means that the protocol engines are designed from the ground up for file transfer. It’s not an after thought where you have to see if the engine in the product can handle a large file, or protect against PHP exploits or other script vulnerabilities. CrushFTP does not run server side scripts as a web application server may do. CrushFTP specializes in file transfer, and does it very well. The HTTP engine in CrushFTP understands when a large file is being uploaded and avoids checking every incoming byte to look for the “end of file” signature that web browsers send. It knows it doesn’t need to check for this until the file transfer is almost done. This saves on CPU usage considerably, and allows for faster transfers.
