Large transfers: The product supports multiple and large file exchanges, including files larger than 3 GB, and lets users pause or resume transfers.
Web and mobile access: Users can view, upload, and download files through a web client and mobile device interfaces.
Protocols: The FTP Server edition supports FTP and FTPS over IPv4 and IPv6; the comparison page lists HTTP as included as well.
Encryption: The product uses SSL/TLS to encrypt file transfers and help prevent tampering or exposure during transfer.

Automation: Automated file management can move or delete files after transfer and disable or reset credentials after a specified number of days.
Quotas: Administrators can set transfer ratios and quotas to manage bandwidth and storage use.
Security controls: The product includes concurrent session limits, IP blocking for timed-out sessions, reverse DNS options, and anti-hammering features.
Gateway and compliance: The optional Serv-U Gateway helps ensure no data is stored in the DMZ and is described as helping meet PCI DSS, HIPAA, FISMA, and GDPR requirements.
Integrations: The edition comparison lists third-party integration through an API or database, while Active Directory and LDAP authentication are listed for MFT.
Support: The comparison lists email support for both editions and phone support for MFT.
Intended users: SolarWinds describes the FTP Server edition as designed for small businesses and project teams needing FTPS, scripted transfers, and a smaller number of users and domains on one server.
