Cerberus FTP Server 5.0.1

Nowadays, FTP has become one of the most popular ways of transferring files and folders over the Internet. That's because it's simple to use, it's secure, fast and reliable. While there are are many FTP clients out there that enable you to connect to FTP sites, there are few programs that allow setting up your own FTP server. Having your own FTP server will allow, for example, accessing your personal files from work or vice-versa, sharing photos with your friends and more. The possibilities are endless. All you need is a decent Internet connection and a reliable software that can turn your computer into a FTP server. Cerberus FTP Server is such a software. It allows you to quickly setup a personal FTP service that can be accessed from anywhere.

The program is compatible with almost any version of the Windows operating system and can be installed by anyone, as the installation process is wizard-based. There are no special requirements for running the program. All that's required is an average computer and a stable Internet connection.

When run for the first time, Cerberus FTP Server will guide the user through the process of configuring its functionality. In case one uses a router for connecting to the Internet, Cerberus FTP Server can automatically detect his public IP address. After setting the username, password and the FTP folder, the program is ready to be used.

The interface displays in real time the state of the FTP server and in case there is a problem, it will be clearly displayed. There is also a log file available, which offers complete details regarding the FTP server and anyone connected to it. The number of users which can be configured to access the server is not limited. Furthermore, certain IP addresses can be restricted from accessing the FTP server.
