Workflow & Automation Rules Engine
Incorporate business rules and logic in WS_FTP Server using these built-in rules: Directory Created, File Deleted, File Downloaded, File Renamed, File Upload, Failed Login, Disk Quota

Step by step wizards
Create rules that trigger a notification via SMS, email, pager and external program. You can also install, run and gain access to WS_FTP Server from any FTP server, not just box that WS_FTP Server is running on.

CCC: SSL Connections with NAT & Firewall
The Clear Command Channel (CCC) lets you make a secure connection and then, after connecting, changes the command channel encrypted to "in the clear" so that firewalls can look at the connection and determine what port to open for issuing commands. The data channel remains encrypted at all times.

Powerful Server Management Features

	Ability to set users' Home folders
	FTP administrators can now set any folder to be the user’s Home Folder and set many users to the same home folder effectively allowing a shared “group folder”. Example: ISP has a client with 5 employees and although each employee has an account, ISP wants to set limit on disk space that can be used in aggregate by the 5 employees. This is done by setting the same folder as the home folder for all 5 employees
	Universal Naming Convention (UNC) support
	UNC is a standard method of naming files and other resources on a network. UNC format on Windows is typically: \\servername\sharename\path\ Example: A System Administrator needs to set user’s home folders to a folder that is on a shared, remote network drive for security and management reasons. Previously, only the Host root drive or the folder WS_FTP Server automatically creates for each new user could be used.

Permissions

FTP administrators can set disk space, number of files, and bandwidth for entire groups or users

Disk quota has changed from KB to MB and you can now set maximum bandwidth settings per user or group.

Example 1: An ISP has a Gold package that includes 500MB of disk space. The FTP Administrator can put users in this group and each user is automatically allotted 500MB of disk space.

Example 2: System admin wants to limit bandwidth consumption so they set the maximum download speed for each user on the Host.
