Welcome!
In 2001, FTP Today became the first company in the world to offer the technology of online managed file transfer via FTP and related protocols.
By mid-2008, I made a commitment to plow a significant portion of our annual revenue into creating our own feature-rich FTP server application suite and control panel, now a single integrated app with a tone of features.
Today, we continue to lead the FTP / SFTP hosting industry and we also compete favorably in the broader file sharing services market. Below is a history of our company and some important milestones of our achievement. And, don't forget to check our our customer reviews.
