User reviews

reliable easy SFTP server

we are a 3 person IT department supporting 400+ people around the world. when we started data transfers with banking partners, we needed a secure means of transferring data. after evaluating several products based on internet reviews and suggestions, we settled on buru and were very happy with our choice. installation, operation, configuration, and upgrades are quick, easy, and painless. would HIGHLY recommend it.

Chuck M., Software architect
Very nice sftp server

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.

Jason C, Software developer
15 minut setup

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

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