Portable SFTP, FTP, SSH server for Windows

Buru SFTP Server supports running in portable server mode. It can be run, for example, from a flash drive, network drive, or a DVD. The server can run as a regular application launched from the command line. Running as a Windows service is possible, but not necessary.

In the portable version, you get access to the all of the server's features, such as:

# QUICK START
# download a Buru SFTP Server Portable ZIP from
# rebex.net/buru-sftp-server/download
# unzip it
# init the Buru instance
burusftp init

# add the user
burusftp user add john --password mypassword --root-dir "C:\Users\john"

# run the server
burusftp run

# OPTIONAL: run the web administration on http://localhost:8880.
burusftp user update john --web-admin enable
burusftpwa run

File-based configuration and user database

The server configuration is stored in a text file in YAML format, which makes it easily readable for humans and programs. User data is stored in a file-based database, which also supports simple transfer between computers.

Fast setup – just unzip and run

It only takes a few seconds to get up and running. Download the ZIP file with the distribution package, add the first user and start the server. That's it.

Optionally, you can configure additional details either via the command line interface, the web interface, or by editing the configuration file.
