October 20th, 2009

Serv-U is a powerful, easy-to-use, award-winning FTP server created by Rob Beckers. An FTP server uses the FTP protocol to share files across the Internet. Serv-U is not only 100% compliant with the current FTP standard, but also includes numerous features unique to Serv-U that make it a perfect file sharing solution for virtually everyone.

Serv-U features an open architecture that makes it very easy to extend, monitor, and change the server behavior with external DLLs. Regardless of the purpose behind your FTP server, everyone will benefit from the numerous security features Serv-U incorporates.
Flexible FTP server (or Daemon) for all 32-bit versions of MS-Windows (Windows 2000 (Advanced) Server, 2000 Professional, Windows XP Home / Professional, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista). It turns any PC with a network connection into an FTP site on the Internet. Serv-U makes a vast array of features available to the user that ensures the administrator has full control over their FTP server.

* Added the ability to set the “SSH Authentication Method” at the domain and server levels in addition to the user and group levels.
* Changed SSH public key authentication to recognize the lack of a public key and require password only.

* Corrected a bug where blowfish and/or cast128-cbc were allowed for SSH2 while running in FIPS 140-2 mode. When used, OpenSSL would fail terminating Serv-U.
