Syncplify Server! is enterprise-grade secure file transfer software for organisations that cannot afford compromise — with AI-powered threat protection, scriptable automation and active high availability, on Windows and Linux.
A secure, dependable, feature-rich, cross-platform SFTP and FTP(S) server — engineered to support enterprise secure file transfer at scale.
The hybrid Protector™ subsystem combines heuristics and AI to detect and block even unknown threats, zero-day attacks and persistent attackers before they infiltrate.
Create custom SyncJS (extended JavaScript) scripts triggered by 45+ events — automate emails, zip-and-move, and far more, with a script library included.
Run multiple Syncplify Server! nodes as a single fault-tolerant system, ensuring uninterrupted performance for enterprise file-transfer workloads.
Whitelists, speed limits, virtual folders, multiple key pairs per user, and customisable encryption and HMAC algorithms for strict governance.
Run multiple isolated SFTP instances on one machine with delegated admin — 12× faster and 8× less memory than v4/v5.
A consistent feature set across Windows and Linux, following a POSIX paradigm on every supported operating system.
Elegant support for AD users and groups via LDAP and LDAPS — from every supported OS, including Linux.
Robust integration with Azure, Citrix, Dropbox, FTP/FTPS, Glacier, Google Drive & Storage, OneDrive and SharePoint.
Syncplify AFT! brings SyncJS to the client side: script transfers, schedule jobs and execute via REST API — endless possibilities.
Not a single vulnerability recorded in the NIST National Vulnerability Database since 2014 — security as architecture, not marketing.
Fully self-hosted — your data never touches Syncplify's systems. Total control for compliance-sensitive workloads.
Protector™ blocks brute-force, zero-day and persistent attackers automatically — and penalises repeat offenders.
45+ events, SyncJS scripting and a full REST API turn file transfer into your own business logic.
Advanced security features, full compliance and reliable performance — designed to meet the highest data-protection standards.
Safeguard transfers against tomorrow's threats as computing evolves.
An extra layer ensuring only authorised users access your data.
SFTP and TLS encrypted communication for maximum protection.
Built-in defence against DoS attacks and password-guessing.
Restrict access by geographic location to block unauthorised regions.
Instantly ban or kick users to prevent unauthorised access.
Every transfer, login and admin action is sealed in a tamper-proof signature chain — audit evidence even privileged users can't alter.
A brandable web file manager with granular sharing permissions, asynchronous uploads and centralised visibility.
Everything in the web UI is scriptable via REST — provision users, export reports and embed the server in your ecosystem.
Syncplify Server! installs and runs entirely inside your own infrastructure — on-premises, private cloud or air-gapped. Your files never pass through Syncplify's systems, eliminating third-party processing concerns for compliance-sensitive industries.
You own encryption policy, access enforcement and operational visibility.
No external services or third-party storage unless you choose to integrate them.
Not a single vulnerability recorded in the NIST National Vulnerability Database.
Syncplify AFT! brings SyncJS — Syncplify's extended JavaScript — to the client side, letting you create secure file-transfer scripts, automate with scheduling and execute via REST API.
Hook into connection, upload, download, error and schedule events.
Trigger jobs programmatically from your existing pipelines.
Start from ready-made recipes for zip, move, notify and more.
// triggered on every completed upload function onUploadComplete(ctx) { if (ctx.file.endsWith('.csv')) { zip(ctx.file, ctx.file + '.zip'); move(ctx.file + '.zip', '/archive'); notify('ops@corp.local', 'New batch: ' + ctx.user); } log('processed', ctx.file, ctx.bytes); }
However your sector moves data, Syncplify Server! secures and automates it — with the cryptographic audit trail to prove it.
AI-driven protection, scriptable to the core and quantum-ready — next to the managed file-transfer platforms teams evaluate most.

The enterprise SFTP / FTPS / HTTPS server with Protector™ AI defence, SyncJS automation and active HA — self-hosted on Windows or Linux.
Reverse-connection file system for DMZ deployments — internal storage dials out to the server, so no inbound firewall ports are ever exposed.
Client-side automation as code — SyncJS scripts, scheduling and a REST API. Say goodbye to brittle batch scripts.
Free, ultra-portable single-user SFTP server for Windows & Linux (x86 / ARM). No install — ideal for testing and learning.
Every edition includes the Protector™ defence subsystem. Scale up as your security and automation needs grow.
Core secure transfer for straightforward deployments.
Multi-site isolation and deep scripting for growing operations.
The full platform for regulated, high-availability environments.
// HTTPS & WebClient! included with Ultimate, available as an optional add-on for Basic and Professional.
Everything teams ask before standing up Syncplify Server! in production.
SFTP, FTPS and FTP on a single hardened server, plus optional HTTPS with the WebClient! file manager — included in the Ultimate edition or available as an add-on for Basic and Professional.
Yes. Syncplify Server! runs entirely inside your own environment — on-premises, private cloud or air-gapped. Your data never passes through Syncplify's systems, so there are no third-party processing concerns.
Protector™ combines heuristic analysis with AI-driven behavioral detection to block brute-force, credential abuse, zero-day and persistent intrusion attempts — automatically penalising and banning repeat offenders without manual intervention.
Absolutely. 45+ event triggers plus SyncJS (extended JavaScript) let you validate, route, compress, notify and integrate with databases — all scriptable server-side and via a complete REST API. Syncplify AFT! brings the same scripting to the client.
Yes. Run multiple Syncplify Server! nodes as a single fault-tolerant cluster for uninterrupted operation — even during maintenance or infrastructure disruptions — and pair it with R2FS! for a zero-inbound-exposure DMZ topology.
