Hi, I am done with writing the code for connecting, downloading and uploading files to the FTP,FTPS and SFTP servers.I have a FTP server for testing the FTP code. But i don't have FTPS and SFTP servers. Can any one suggest me FTPS and SFTP open or free servers for testing my code? I found this site for FTPS "ftp.secureftp-test.com ", but it supports only downloading files. I need to test uploading also.

Applies to: Rebex FTP/SSL, Rebex SFTP

We've recently launched a new testing server test.rebex.net. It supports both FTP/SSL and SFTP protocols, but still in read only mode (for the reasons Lukas mentions above).

If you need a test server to test uploads, try FileZilla Server (free) for FTP and FTPS. It's free and good enough. For SFTP, install our Tiny SFTP Server (also free).

Free online SFTP servers:

You can find a list of public SFTP servers with free access on SFTP.net website. All of them are read-only.

SFTP server to run on your machine:

For read-write access using your own SFTP server would be needed. SFTP.net includes also list of SFTP servers (mostly) for Windows.

Rebex Tiny SFTP Server

But don't be afraid. Two of listed servers are quite minimalistic - Rebex Tiny SFTP server requires no installation at all. Just unpack the ZIP, run the application and push the start button. You can even download server C# source code if you want to modify it for your testing.

Buru Server

Full featured, scriptable SFTP server. No installation needed. Just
download it from BuruServer.com, unzip and run following commands:
