Serv-U is een FTP server voor het Windows-platform. Hij is klein en eenvoudig in het gebruik, maar heeft voldoende mogelijkheden om ook de veeleisende gebruiker tevreden te stellen. Enkele van de meest in het oog springende features zijn ODBC-databasesupport, SSL-encryptie en het verlenen van toegang of het weigeren daarvan gebaseerd op ip-adres.
