iWeb FTP Review

Securely Transfer Files Online Using FTP Connections

As a file hosting and sharing solution, iWeb FTP allows users to transfer files through FTP, SFTP, and HTTPS connections. This means they can use their existing FTP clients and packages to securely organize and share files online.

Brandable Intuitive Web-Based Portal

The solution also enables users to upload, download, organize, and share files using its web-based portal or interface. This is a file hosting and sharing mechanism that replaces the regular FTP-based file hosting and sharing method. The online portal is intuitive and can be accessed from any web browser. What’s great about this is that the portal or interface can be customized graphically, which means its design can be configured to match one’s branding.

Store Large Files And Perform Unlimited File Transfers

With iWeb FTP, users will be able to share or transfer files as many as they want. All they need to do is choose the amount of space and the number of users based on the needs of their own team or organization. In addition, the solution doesn’t impose a limit on the size of files that they can store and organize within its system. As a result, the solution lets them upload and download very large files.

A Simple Way To Share A Single File

iWeb FTP delivers a simple way to share files. A single file can be easily shared using a direct link. There is also an option wherein users have to enter first their email address before they are able to download the single file being shared. Whatever email address they used can be viewed on the activity reports.

Collaborate On Multiple Files Through Private Online Workspaces

Some teams and organizations may need to manage sets of files. Because they are dealing with multiple files, generating a shareable link for each file is obviously time-consuming. Fortunately, iWeb FTP provides a solution so users can easily organize and share multiple files, making the process of collaborating on those files a breeze.

The file storage and sharing solution allows users to create private online workspaces so they can efficiently collaborate on files. These workspaces are like folders where multiple files can be stored. They can build workspaces as many as they want and assign people to such workspaces. They also have the freedom to define what type of workspace they want to create. For example, each department, customer, or project can have its own unique workspace. In addition, iWeb FTP permits them to specify the persons who are allowed to access the workspaces and the actions they can perform within the workspaces. For instance, some users may be allowed to only view or read the files stored in the workspaces while others may be permitted to edit such files.

Access Control Features

iWeb FTP is built with access control features which help users protect the files they are working on. Thus, they can define the things that their teammates and clients can and can’t do with the files. They can specify which files can be uploaded, downloaded, and shared and which persons can perform such actions or activities.

Track And Audit User Activity

As users grant and control access permissions, the solution lets them easily monitor and audit the activities being performed within each workspace and throughout its system.  This is made possible by generating activity logs. These activity logs provide information on the persons logging into solution and doing file uploads, downloads, or transfers.

Receive Notifications On File Uploads, Downloads, And Transfers

iWeb FTP also offers notification functionalities. With these functionalities, users will be able to receive alerts via email when files are being uploaded, downloaded, or transferred using the solution. Notifications can be configured for each workspace and the people who are assigned to a workspace can subscribe to the notifications that are enabled in such workspace. Also, those persons that are allowed to access the workspace are given the option to select which notifications they want to receive. In iWeb FTP, notifications and alerts are sent every 5 minutes, and they are delivered as a batch through a single email. This way, users won’t be overwhelmed with a lot of email notifications every time someone is uploading, downloading, or sharing files.

International Filename Support

File uploads, downloads, and transfers should not be restricted to a particular geographical location or local audience. This means a good file hosting and sharing solution must support files and content which can be labelled in multiple languages. iWeb FTP delivers an international filename support that accommodates all character sets. This makes it easy for users to collaborate with their teammates and clients regardless of their location and language they are using.
