Best FTP/SFTP/FTPS Server for Windows/Linux/Mac/Solaris
Wing FTP Server is an application designed to create and manage a FTP server that supports transfer protocols such as FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS and SFTP. This secure FTP server software works on Windows, Linux, Mac OSX, and Solaris. It provides admins with a web based interface to administer the server from anywhere.
