| CrushFTP4 is a powerful file server well ahead of its time. Not only does it handle serving FTP, but it also does SFTP (SSH FTP), FTPS (FTP over SSL), HTTP, HTTPS, WebDAV, and WebDAV SSL. From that list you can see it is serious about security and encryption. The ‘Crush’ in CrushFTP comes from its ability to compress transfers on the fly seamlessly making for faster transfers!
In about 10 clicks you can be up and running with a powerful FTP server, HTTP server, HTTPS server, and WebDAV server, with your first user created and ready to login!
Use the Finder to Upload / Download / Everything WebDAV allows you to use the OS X Finder to connect to the server and work on it as if it were another hard drive on your machine. Read, write, rename, etc. all with WebDAV. Normally the Finder is read only when using FTP, so WebDAV is a welcomed addition.
Advanced Web Browser File Management The built in fully customizable WebInterface allows you to present a website to customers so they can easily upload files to you, or download files to you. It has support for drag and drop uploading on the website, as well as the ability to upload folders while zipping them on the fly. It will even automatically resume a transfer should the network connection die in the middle, or the user closed their browser. This is by far the easiest way to receive uploads from your clients. This saves time and bandwidth. Or you can use the browser uploader which uses AJAX to queue up file transfers and submit them all at once. Either way, you get real-time feedback on the upload progress, speeds, and estimated time remaining… all things you can’t get normally.
Email Notifications Easily setup emails to come to you when a user uploads a file. Did the user upload 50 files? Don’t want 50 emails? Not a problem. CrushFTP will build one email with all 50 items listed in it… even if they used a client that logged in with 10 connections to do the uploads!
Configure CrushFTP is easy to configure. You can drag and drop folders on a user to grant them access to the folder. The user will then only be able to access that folder. Not like OS X where they can browse around outside their home folder.
Want to add SFTP to your server? Its just 5 clicks away. Click preferences.(1) Click add.(2) Enter a port for it to run on, click OK.(3) Click the SFTP server type.(4). Click OK to close the preferences.(5) literally that’s how easy it is to configure things in CrushFTP. All the hard work is done for you.
Tons of Plugins The plugin support for CrushFTP allows for a whole new set of expandable features. One example allows you to make users by “creating a folder”. That’s all. You create a folder with a specific name, and a user with that name can then login with access to only that folder! You can’t get any easier than that. Right now all plugins to CrushFTP are free. Here are just a few of the plugins :
CrushSQL (use SQL tables to load your users from)
MagicDirectory (make a directory, and a user can login)
WebStatistics (OS X widget to monitor your server)
AutoUnzip (decompresses .zip files when a user uploads them)
LaunchProcess (launch external actions on uploaded files)
HomeDirectory (make a user, and their home folder and permissions are created automatically)
CrushLDAP (use ActiveDirectory, or LDAP to load your users from)
BlockContent (only allow files with specific extensions)
Preview User’s Access Scared about giving users access to your computer? You can “preview” what the user will see with the user manager. You can control the access to every file or folder so there is no confusion on what a user can or can’t do. Once a user has logged in, you can monitor what they are doing with the CrushFTP interface. See which directories they access, what files they download, and upload.
OS X Widget The included CrushFTP widget allows you to monitor your server with the press of a button. See a real-time snap shop of who’s connected, what files have just been accessed, a whole summary of what your server is doing.
Training Videos & Documentation Free training videos showcasing various features of CrushFTP are available on CrushFTP’s homepage. Additionally, should you have questions or concerns, you have direct email access to the developer who will respond to questions very quickly.

is NextZot gone? doesn’t show up in my account page.
March 1st, 2007 at 3:18 am
Why is this a great ZOT? Macupdate and Versiontracker says the regular price is always 30 bucks!
March 1st, 2007 at 4:43 am
From the CrushFTP site ( http://www.crushftp.com/pricing.html ):
10 concurrent users license is $30
50 concurrent users license is $60
From me:
Seems like not that good a deal…
March 1st, 2007 at 5:58 am
So is this the 50 User License for half the price?
March 1st, 2007 at 7:47 am
I think that you get the 50 User License here on ZOT! Now I could finally download and test this thing and I must say that it rocks! And the buy button now worked after I restarted my browser.
March 1st, 2007 at 7:56 am
Just to confirm, this is the $60 version. 50 simultaneous users. This is 50% off the regular pricing for just two days.
The regular $30 is just the 10 user version.
In summary…this is the 50 user version for $29.97. :)

Thanks Ben! I already bought this terrific app! Awesome work! Will there be a free Leopard Update?
March 1st, 2007 at 9:13 am
It works on Leopard. All versions of 4.x are free updates to anyone who purchased 4.x. 5.x will be the next paid upgrade…but even then I am very cheap. 3.x users paid roughly $10 for the upgrade to 4.x.
I don’t even have 5.x planned yet…just 4.x features and updates I am still working on.
So your set for a while with free updates and free support via email to me.
Thanks,
Ben

Wow! This software seems amazing. I don’t have any personnal needs for it now but eventually, at my job, we want to offer ftp service to our clients. crushFTP is as easy as it can get for FTP access and management. Very well done.
March 1st, 2007 at 9:41 am
Thanks Ben! Then this was one of the best investements I recently did.
March 1st, 2007 at 3:00 pm
FYI, I will be adding a plugin shortly that will allow you to run CrushFTP4 behind apache…so it can integrate directly in an existing website. (Will work with IIS as well.)

Has anyone had their serial number for this yet?
March 3rd, 2007 at 5:33 am
I have been fulfilling serials through the MacZOT system. I have filled every serial as of now. There should have only been a delay of about 1 hour from registration to when I had it fulfilled. Check your MacZOT account to get your serial and instructions.
Email me directly if you didn’t get it or are having trouble.
Thanks,
