BulletProof FTP Server is Windows-based software for transferring and distributing files over FTP, FTPS and SFTP. It suits administrators who want graphical management, user and group access controls, virtual directories for UNC shares, and Windows system-service support. The product also includes disk-space quotas, bandwidth throttling, activity monitoring, IP restrictions, automatic IP banning, email notifications, event automation, and command-line/API administration resources.

Pricing is organized around annual license terms rather than monthly plans. Professional Edition costs $145 for 1 year, $225 for 2 years, or $335 for 3 years; updates and support are included during each subscription, and the license term ends after the selected period. Professional Secure Edition costs $225.25 for 1 year, $361.25 for 2 years, or $548.25 for 3 years, with SFTP and FTPS support plus updates and support included during the subscription. The published plans give buyers a straightforward choice between core FTP server capabilities and the secure edition's additional protocol support.

Its feature set is broad for traditional Windows file-transfer administration, covering access control, virtual folders, resource limits, monitoring, IP restrictions, notifications, and automation in one server product. The vendor also provides downloads, documentation, support resources, and administration guidance. Choose BulletProof FTP Server if your environment is Windows-based and needs established FTP management controls with optional FTPS and SFTP support. Organizations requiring a multi-platform deployment should consider a different product, while teams seeking a time-limited license structure may find the subscription terms suitable.
