### "The best SFTP software around"

June 24, 2023

Very good and would recommend using Rebex Buru SFTP Server.

Pros

multi-factor authentication, file management, the UI and ease of setup.

Cons

I miss the option to be able to auto update the software and have it install automatically but this is not a problem as stopping and updating is not an issue at all. If you are comfortable with typing commands.

### "Very nice sftp server "

August 30, 2022

5.0

I'm able to use azure pipelines to upload installs to the sftp server as well as allow bills pdfs to be uploaded and stored.

Pros

It's basic and easy and does what it's suppose to do, well! It's by far the best, straight forward sftp server I've found. I like that this runs as a system service and I like being able to whitelist ip's.

Cons

There's really nothing that I don't like. It's does what it's suppose to do. I'm happy.

Reason for choosing Rebex Buru SFTP Server

I wanted a product that ran as a system service and was easy to set up.

### "Great internal SFTP server"

June 22, 2023

5.0

Pros

With the academic licensing, Rebex Buru SFTP server is a great internal server for secure data transfer. Using this for internal data transfers across our network has proven to be great for network and data security.

Cons

I think all of the features are great, so I don't really have a 'least like'. We only use a few but I am pretty impressed with it so far.

Reason for choosing Rebex Buru SFTP Server

The free academic licensing for non-commercial use. I was able to set up the server for the exact purpose I needed.

### "The nofuzz and flexible SFTP option"

August 30, 2022

4.0

Providing simple and secure SFTP access for internal integrations between platforms and publishing SFTP users externally to Azure services that internally maps to various shared folders for data extraction.

Pros

Flexibiliy beyond what is expected of such a simple setup process. I have even used it in a WSFC A/P Cluster setup with ease.

Cons

The lack of instructions to upgrade struggled me at first. An automated updater would be amazing or more instructions that fit all the corresponding instructions on how it can be installed.

Reason for choosing Rebex Buru SFTP Server

My first PoC was simple and it works as advertised!

### "15 minute setup "

August 30, 2022

5.0

It works and you forget its running, The best kind of software.

Pros

Easy to use and setup. Highly recommend. Most features are in the admin panel which makes for an easy setup.

Cons

SSL setup was a bit confusing. I wish they had it in the admin panel.

Thank you for your review and your feedback about SSL setup for web admin. The process of issuing SSL certificate is documented at https://www.rebex.net/buru-sftp-server/doc/wa-https. I agree that it's always possible to improve it. Would it be possible to contact us in order to discuss options? For example for some scenarios a self-signed cert generator in web admin would be just OK, in some other scenarios integration with Let's Encrypt would be possible or preferred. Thanks.
