CrushFTP also can work through all firewalls since it natively can handle PASV mode and doesn't rely on the firewall/router to do the translations for it.

This is pure bunk. PASV alone does not imply survival through most firewalls.

The docs I read also suggest you have to open whole ranges of ports. This is hardly a good option for a security conscious environment. The better solution is an FTP proxy in your firewall, or, alternatively and better still, running FTP on your DMZ.

To be fair, I have a vested interest in your interest of CrushFTP, or FTP in general. I am not an innocent bystander with no affiliations.

Doesn't CrushFTP rely on the CrushFTP application running in a console session? If so this makes it highly unsuitable for most server needs and yields itself more towards workstation users needed to share files. Servers normally expect no console requirements and service deamons running in the background.


Perhaps you'd also share some performance analysis of your ftpd?
