The Rumpus server engine and application has been in active development for over 2 decades, so it is not only incredibly robust but feature-packed as well. Here is an overview of some of the most notable built-in capabilities: | |
High-Performance Rumpus implements file transfer protocols natively, as a stand-alone, system-optimized application, for blazing performance on mid-range or even low-end hardware. | |
Easy User Account Administration Define user accounts once in Rumpus to allow users to connect via Web browser, FTP, SFTP, FTPS or WebDAV. | |
Event Notices Receive immediate notification when files are uploaded, downloaded or other important actions occur. | |
Upload Center Forms Prompt users for additional information about uploaded files via configurable data entry forms. | |
Tether In addition to supporting access using standard Web browsers and FTP clients, a dedicated app called Tether is optimized for local users accessing your key services. | |
Administrative Console The Rumpus admin console provides a simple and highly functional view of server activity and use. | |
Guest Users Rumpus users can easily send files to guest users, or even allow guests to upload files to their content area. | |
Drop Box Create a simple URL and link to it from your primary Web site or e-mail to allow one-click file transfers directly to a secure area on your server. | |
Robust Authentication Options Enable user self-registration (with e-mail confirmation), 2 Factor authentication, Active Directory authentication, password complexity requirements, and more. |
Rumpus offers native implementations of all major secure file transfer protocols, and is built on top of industry standard encryption technologies. | |
OpenSSL OpenSSL is a robust, commercial-grade, and full-featured toolkit for the Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols. It is also a general-purpose cryptography library. OpenSSL sets the standard for encrypted data transfers on the Internet, and Rumpus directly interfaces with it to provide both HTTPS and FTPS services. | |
OpenSSH OpenSSH is the premier connectivity tool for remote login with the SSH protocol. It encrypts all traffic to eliminate eavesdropping, connection hijacking, and other attacks. In addition, OpenSSH provides a large suite of secure tunneling capabilities, several authentication methods, and sophisticated configuration options. Rumpus is built directly on top of OpenSSH to implement encrypted SFTP transfers. | |
Let's Encrypt To enable HTTPS on your website, you need to get a certificate (a type of file) from a Certificate Authority (CA). Let’s Encrypt is a CA. In order to get a certificate for your website’s domain from Let’s Encrypt, you have to demonstrate control over the domain. Rumpus includes built-in Let's Encrypt integration, reducing this once arduous chore to a few simple clicks of the mouse. | |
Native Implementation Rumpus is not built on Apache, or any other Web or file transfer protocol platforms, leading to two big benefits. First, Rumpus is lightning fast, even on low-end hardware, thanks to its native, purpose-built server implementations. Second, Rumpus isn't susceptible to many well-known and common security flaws that might be exposed in these general-use platforms. |
