XLight FTP&Nbsp; The server is a very user-friendly FTP server software. To ensure high performance, all XLight FTP server software is written in C language, and the server takes up very little system resources during runtime. It has efficient network algorithms that can fully utilize the network bandwidth of FTP servers to provide upload or download transmission. If the configuration is reasonable, even when a large number of users log in, it can still easily handle the simultaneous downloading or uploading of thousands of users, fully utilizing the bandwidth of users.
Among numerous software development languages, C language, as an intermediate language between assembly language and high-level language, although its high requirements for programmers greatly limit the number of developers capable of using it, programs generated using C language have good code quality and high execution efficiency. In the more than 40 years since its birth in the great Bell Labs, C language has always been highly respected and has flourished. Compared with FTP software written in other software languages, which can easily reach tens or hundreds of megabytes, XLight FTP server software has the following obvious advantages because it is entirely written in C language: small software size, high execution efficiency, less server resource occupation during runtime, and high transmission network utilization.
As the name suggests, XLight FTP server software is also a type of FTP server software mainly used for setting up FTP servers, providing users with centralized storage of various electronic documents, as well as uploading and downloading services for documents. FTP server software uses the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to transfer files. Compared to the HTTP protocol commonly used for browsing web pages, FTP is more suitable for transferring files, especially for large and small files involving a large number of users. For example, a video file on a high-definition DVD drive often has a large volume, and using FTP to transfer it to other users is much more efficient than using HTTP.
Using FTP to transfer files requires two types of software: FTP server software and FTP client software. If you only need to download files from a website through FTP, or upload files to a website through FTP, then you do not need XLight FTP server software. You only need to install one FTP client software.
There are numerous FTP client software options available on the market, both free and paid, and the vast majority of them can be used in conjunction with XLight FTP server software smoothly. Although many browsers also support the FTP protocol, for optimal usage, we recommend that customers use various professional FTP client software to complement the use of FTP server-side software.

The trial program will run with professional version functionality during the 30 day trial period. After a 30 day trial period, if not registered, the FTP server will automatically become a personal version
The standard version limits 50 simultaneous online users, supports SSL, supports UNC path account identity simulation, and supports anti piracy chain protection. However, the standard version does not have remote management, as well as the ability to access an ODBC database and active directory. The price of the standard version is 280 RMB.
The professional version does not restrict simultaneous online users, and it has all functions except for the SFTP (SSH2) add-on module. The price of the professional version is 960 RMB.
The SFTP (SSH2) add-on module SFTP (SSH2) is a completely different protocol from FTP. The SFTP (SSH2) function is provided as an optional feature. If you only use the FTP protocol, you don't need this module.
