Titan SFTP Server is file transfer server software for Windows and Linux. It lets an organization host files for employees, customers and business partners, accept uploads and control access to the folders behind those exchanges. SFTP, FTPS and HTTPS connections provide encrypted ways to reach the server, which can run on premises or in cloud and hybrid environments.
The core server uses subscription licensing, with optional modules for additional functions. Complex scheduling and workflow orchestration belong to the separate Titan MFT Server product.
How Titan SFTP Server maps folders to accounts
User and group settings determine how files are exposed to each account. Folder permissions control access within that space, while group management lets an administrator apply shared controls to related users. Password policies govern the credentials used to sign in.
Titan SFTP Server can present a folder through a virtual directory. The administrator supplies its actual storage path, gives it a name for users to see and assigns permissions. It then appears as another folder inside the user’s home folder. The visible folder name does not need to match the underlying storage path.
Virtual folders can be assigned at the user, group or server level. An individual account can therefore receive access to a particular location, while a shared mapping can serve a wider set of accounts.
Limiting connections and storage
Connection controls determine how many sessions an account or network address may open. Titan SFTP Server distinguishes a limit per user from a limit per IP address: several accounts connecting through the same address can collectively reach the IP limit. Once a connection limit is reached, another session must close before a new connection can be accepted.
Administrators can also set an idle timeout and limit uploads and downloads within a session. Bandwidth management regulates transfer traffic. Disk quotas address a different resource: they cap storage allocated to an individual user or the server instance, with the limit entered in kilobytes.
Activity logs and remote administration
Connection logs, file transfer tracking and event monitoring record activity around the hosted files. They give administrators information about who connected and which files were accessed or transferred. Syslog integration allows that activity to feed a central logging system alongside records from other services.
Titan’s administrative interface can also connect to other Titan servers. An administrator adds a remote server’s address, TLS port and login credentials, then tests the connection. The server appears under Remote Domains, allowing several installations to be administered through one interface.
Browser sharing
The optional Web UI & File Sharing module adds a browser interface for navigating folders, uploading and downloading over HTTPS. People using this interface can exchange files without installing an SFTP client. Administrators control who may share, upload, receive or view files, including recipients restricted to viewing.
The module supports password-protected links to files or folders with expiration policies. DropZone provides an inbound route for external people to submit files without accounts, while QuickSend handles delivery of files from a desktop to recipients. Web actions are included in audit logging.
Login verification
Advanced Authentication is another optional module for Titan SFTP Server. It adds a second verification factor to password-based access, with policies applied to a user, group or role. Available methods include time-based one-time passwords, authenticator apps, SMS and email codes. Integration with Titan Syslog provides records of authentication activity.
