Product Description:

Rumpus is the FTP server that gives you workstation-like levels of performance and reliability combined with the ease of use and maintenance you expect from the Macintosh. Use Rumpus to provide both anonymous and secure file transfer services for intranets or Internets, or as a simple, cross-platform tool for maintaining content on a Web server.

What's new in this version:

Mac OS X Native Operation - Rumpus 2.0 includes both "Carbon" and "Classic" versions allowing you to choose to run any modern version of the Mac OS on your server.
Upload Notices - When new files are uploaded to the server, Rumpus can now notify the administrator (or anyone else) by sending an e-mail or take other action by executing an AppleScript. Upload Notices can be assigned to individual user accounts, allowing different actions to be taken based on who uploaded the file.
Folder Sets - Rumpus' built-in security mechanism has been extended to allow administrators to set access privileges to individual folders on the server. A "Folder Set" can be created that increases or restricts user access rights, then quickly be applied to any number of individual user accounts.
User Account Limits - User access can now be restricted to a set transfer rate, by a quota defined by the ratio of uploads to downloads, and by simultaneous connections using a single user account. Setting a maximum transfer rate, for example, allows the Rumpus administrator to restrict bandwidth allocated to each user, ensuring even performance among all users.
Direct HTTP User Account Management - User accounts can now be managed remotely using Rumpus' stand-alone Web administration server. Rumpus will also still function as a CGI for use with popular Mac OS Web servers.
Enhanced Security - A user-selectable encryption key can now be used to secure the Rumpus user database, adding additional security, especially on servers running other applications in addition to Rumpus. Version 2.0 also includes all previous security updates to block known denial of service attacks.

Good but core features missing - Version: 5.3.9, 10/14/2008 09:30PM PST

I downloaded the demo and was surprised how easy it was to get this thing online. I had one little problem with frames and Microsoft InterNet Explorer under Windows, contacted the developer and received an immediate solution: very good job!

But, I'm missing two core features:

1. Support for thumbnails in the listings.
2. Support for iPhone: there should be a special web-design optimized for the screen resolution of the iPhone and playback of media (e.g. mp4 via build in movie player) should work (like "Searchlight" does it).

If the above features are implemented I'll give a seconf try and then it sure will get a 5 stars rating!

Absolutely Great Software!!!!!! - Version: 5.3.9, 9/23/2008 06:43AM PST

Been using Rumpus for over a year now, and it just works. Very easy to set up. I've never had a problem, it's never unexpectedly quit. Technical support is fantastic, and they are continuously fine tuning the product as they come out with updates every few months. I enthusiastically recommend Rumpus to beginner or expert without hesitation.

Best utility I've ever bought! - Version: 5.3.3, 11/29/2007 10:37AM PST

Absolutely brilliant product!

Simple to use & install, yet with a very useful & powerful feature-set. The best bit for me is the technical support, which is simply legendary! I initially demo-ed the software whilst upgrading to Leopard (which caused quite a few headaches). The guys at Maxum Tech Support went far above the call of duty in helping me sort it all out, especially as I was only testing it. Don't hesitate - buy it!
