SWFT is a secure and modern web-based file transfer application, created to replace traditional FTP and SFTP for a simpler experience.
SWFT is a software application that has been designed to provide a more secure and modern replacement for FTP and SFTP. This web-based application allows users to easily upload and download files through the HTTPS feature of any standard web browser. SWFT is a PHP application, and its full form is Simple Web File Transfer.
SWFT ensures that every single file uploaded onto the platform has a unique ID and password for download. In case of multiple file transfers, you will have to use multiple IDs or ZIP files. Additionally, SWFT has been designed to automatically remember file names and extensions. IDs don't need to match the file names, so multiple files with the same name can be uploaded with different IDs to the platform.
To reduce abuse and ensure security, password protection is enforced on uploaded files. The default SWFT configuration allows each file to be downloaded five times or to remain available for 24 hours, whichever comes first. The 'auto' housekeeping settings make for easy maintenance by removing stale uploads. Default settings can be changed by editing the simple configuration file, but these changes will only be accessible through the administrator's web interface.
SWFT is a PHP web application and as such cross-platform. It should work on any webserver with PHP 4 or newer, regardless of whether the operating system is Windows, Linux, Macintosh or BSD. File size limitations on the SWFT platform are controlled only by the PHP configuration.
Although the SWFT interface is very plain, it is easy to understand and will support easier website integration and CSS style sheets in future versions. The documentation is incomplete, but it does come with a bundled install and how-to document.
SWFT has several key features. For example, it's freely licensed under the QPL, making it easy to use with no licensing issues. Since SWFT is written in PHP, no application framework or complex install procedures are required. It also works without cookies, which gives it an added layer of security.
The latest release includes several bug fixes, including an assumption that wasn't compatible with Windows, numerous typos in the example configuration file, and the use of a deprecated variable. Overall, SWFT is an excellent alternative to FTP and SFTP that offers greater security and ease of use.
