Really excellent software with continues improvements.
I bought my first license in 2004 and am still a happy customer.

Really good customer service and they deliver on their promises.

HI. I'm the developer.

Gosh, I'm not sure what to say about the haters. Sometimes customer-services goes haywire and you get people that just want to be pissed off. They feel the best recourse is to come to third party websites and make negative reviews. It's a big internet and a percentage is just going to go down like that.

In regards to legit concerns, please come to the website and send them to me. This is my job, my livelihood and (honestly) my life's work. At least so far. I get up, answer emails and bang away on the code for hours. Over the past 12 months, there's been 14 updates and I work hard to make sure that it works for everyone. Sometimes I make a mistake and it affects some tiny percentage of users in certain circumstance, but as soon as I know about it; BOOM! It's fixed.

I'd love to continue writing and working on the software. It's May 30th and I just released 2014.1.0.17. The next release (barring bug fixes) is a full rewrite of the engine for Secure FTP, user-authentication with other sources and REST API support for integration. It's going really well works, but takes a bit of time to hook back into everything in the UI.

G6 was a partnership that ran from 2001 to 2007, after that point it's a completely new codebase. I have no idea what's up with G6, they stopped selling their own product around 2007. He's a nice French guy that used to write it and I wish him luck in whatever he's doing.

Again, if you have a problem; please let me know on the product's website and give me a chance to correct it. If you're still pissed-off, go head and blast it everywhere. I can't help that and it's going to happen. For those people that are cool and level headed, let's go! Tell me what you like and don't, let's see what we can do!

BTW: I'm giving the software 5 stars, I hope you do too.

Anyone remember how great this was back in the day when it was G6 FTP Server?

Then the source code was sold to this moronic company. Not sure who took over BulletProof software, but it can't be the original creator from internets early dawn.

isnt completely accurate.. yes the sourcecode was sold as a fork, but the "real" gene6ftpserver still exists.. although it doesn't really seem to be updated much anymore...
BPFTP is decent but not as good as G6, still its a lot cheaper..

I'm not sure why kashin, is hating on BPFTP so much.
I've been using it for the last decade and enjoy it a lot.
The competitors in its market price range are not any better, and those others still lack in some features BPFTP has had for a decade.
I love it as long as it runs.
I love that You can import the setting configs if you have to reinstall the OS or if you want to use it on another PC, just copy the installed directory files over and install on top of it.

Man, I remember when BPFTP Server used to be great. Now it's a disgusting piece of garbage, complete with gigantic ugly buttons and endless expanding menus. The guy who writes this rubbish actually made a comment on this forum to brag about how great his software is and how he's been writing it for over 10 years. You'd think that after 10 years of coding, he'd at least know how to alpha blend his gigantic buttons and come up with a decent configuration layout that doesn't make people want to vomit.

There are no problems with BPFTP Server and files over 2 GB. I just emailed them about the problem, they said it was fixed a "while ago". In my testing just now with a 4 GB video file it worked perfectly in resuming.

markca reviewed v2.4.0.31 Beta on Jun 8, 2007

I just wanted to try to steer people clear of BulletProof. We purchased their BulletProof Server which is advertised as standards compliant.

Our clients were complaining of problems with downloads being corrupted. After 2 months trying to figure out what was wrong we discovered that the problem was with the BulletProof Server and larger files.

We contacted BulletProof and they indicated their 'fully standards compliant' FTP server didn't support files larger than 2.1GB

We asked for our money back all the way up to the owner of the company. He refused the refund even though it was only $39.

Surprising that a company would be unwilling to refund such a small amount of money when they have a huge, unadvertised flaw that corrupts data in transferred files.

Just wanted to let you know that you're really taking your chances if you use a BulletProof product.

Adontech reviewed v2.4.0.31 Beta on May 1, 2007

I have been running Bulletproof FTP server software on a high volume system in a production environment for many years now. I have had very few issues with the software. It has been (without a doubt) the most cost effective purchase I have ever made.

mcolgin reviewed v2.4.0.31 Beta on Nov 13, 2006

Hey all, I'm the developer of BulletProof Software and have been writing the code now for close to 10 years!

Sure, there's FREE programs out there that have some of BPFTP Server's functionality; but, if you are trying to get a job done using my software, nothing beats a real company standing behind the product.

I've got some of the best support people working on it every business day, every year. Because my livelihood depends on making great software, the quality of BPFTP just can't be rivaled by someone writing a free-clone in Sweden.

You get what you pay for! BPFTP Client is $29.95 USD and BPFTP Server is $34.95 USD and come with 1 free year of technical support. Check it out, a free trial is available:

Best FTP Server around. The only one I could find where you could have a blank username and then have a password. All others I tried required a username so you couldn't have a dynamic login system.

The best FTP server for Windows.

Estuve probando varios programas de servidores FTP, y la verdad que me quede con este debido a que es muy configurable y fácil de usar. También se encuentra el manual en español de como usarlo.

naikan reviewed v2.21 on Mar 3, 2003

There's the update - not many changes though. I'm still impressed :) It gets a 5.

naikan reviewed v2.15 on Dec 21, 2002

Very nice program. One little problem - where the heck is a feature/gui update? It's been over a year! I'll stick to Serv-U for the time being.

the_dude reviewed v2.15 on Oct 18, 2001

This is simply the best FTP server application I've used. It's small, fast, and uses very little system resources.
It also has a great GUI, with all the options that you could ask for. Highly recommended.

Been using BPFTPD since G6 2.0 and this is the BEST FTP server you can use. Trust me...Ive tried quite a few [WARFTP, Guild, ServU, Vermillion, Fictional, Caesar....]. Nothing compares to the power and support team for BPFTPD. This program RULES!

hellahard reviewed v2.1 on Apr 7, 2001

nice program and very secure but i still prefer Serv-U. they do all the same in the end and serv-U uses less system resources on my system. so i am gonna stick with Serv-U for now. it is nice, stable and secure tho worth a try if you dont have Serv-U

eighthpassenger reviewed v2.1 on Apr 5, 2001

Oh boy ...At first I didn' t understand anything ... BPFTP Server ?? A G6 FTP Server shot ??
What the hell is that ?? But no , everything' s clear ... BPFTP and Gene6 are one now ...
And I must say yeahhh ... The greatest FTP Server and the greatest FTP Client are now
designed by the same teams ... I' m sure this will give us some great products ...

Ok then are you saying G6server was better?
I didn't know they were the same. I do have G6 laying around some place. Was just lookin this over.

I've always used BP FTP. I've tried WAR & Cute, but they suck compared to BP! Anyhow, since I've tried G6, it has replace WAR & Serv-U, this is the best combo I could think of :)! IT KICKS! Bugs... I'll get back to you, I have yet to find one :P

crackhead_ryan reviewed v2.1 on Apr 4, 2001

Yes, this IS a great program...but the review failed to mention that the product was previously known as G6. It's the same G6 we knew, only a new name!
