Nanterre, France
What it is
Waarp R66 is open-source software for large-scale file transfers with monitoring. It sends and receives files in push or pull mode between identified partners, with database persistence, retries and transfer restarts. Security features listed by the maker include SSL, optional strong authentication, packet integrity support and partner authentication. Rules can run file operations or external procedures before or after transfers and when errors occur. Monitoring includes an HTTP interface and SNMP agent support, and events can be sent to a remote HTTP(S) REST API. Documented integrations include FTP, S3 sources and targets, REST APIs and Java applications. The maker lists H2, PostgreSQL and Oracle; MySQL and MariaDB implementations work but are not recommended. A downloadable all-in-one package includes R66, Proxy and Gateway FTP. Platforms listed are API, Linux, self-hosted, web and Windows. The light client has no database-backed transfer history or restart capability.
