About WS_FTP Server Web Transfer Client

WS_FTP Server Web Transfer Client is a web application that runs with Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) and lets your WS_FTP Server users access their accounts via a browser (using HTTP/S). When users log in, they see the (FTP) folders for which they have permission. They can download files from these folders, or upload files from their computer.

No installation is required for the end user. The end user will open a web address in a browser and log on to their account using the Web Transfer Client.

You can enable Web Transfer access to any of your WS_FTP users. All existing user settings, rules, and notifications apply to the WS_FTP Server Web Transfer Client account.

For the end user, the Web Transfer Client offers easy, secure access via a browser, basic upload and download operations, and no client installation or maintenance.
