Overview

Install Cerberus FTP Server on Windows Server (on-premises, or in AWS or Azure) so staff and partners can send files over FTP, FTPS, SFTP and SCP or through a browser-based HTTPS web client with time-limited public share links. Administrators manage users natively or through Active Directory and LDAP, add two-factor authentication, IP allow/deny lists and SAML single sign-on, and review file and administrator activity in audit logs and reports. The web client, ad hoc sharing, SAML SSO and event automation require Enterprise or higher; licenses are annual per-server subscriptions with unlimited users and connections.
