NTP Download

Basic information on NTP can be found on our NTP info page. Use the links below to download copies of NTP software packages directly from our web server in Germany and the USA. The source code is available at the NTP download page at ntp.org.

For the Windows operating system there's an additional NTP Time Server Monitor program available which allows configuration of the local NTP service and graphical monitoring of the local and also remote NTP servers.

Note: In case of an older Windows operation system (< WIN XP SP3) it might be possible that an error occurs when Windows tries to start the NTP service. This issue can possibly be solved by installing the Visual Studio Redistributable package:

Go to Windows Download Center

The NTP package contains a GUI installer for Windows which installs executable programs which have been compiled from the original NTP sources available at the NTP download page at ntp.org. The GUI installer also contains the corresponding HTML based NTP documentation, plus a current OpenSSL DLL required by NTP to support authentication. Unattended installation is also supported. Please see the NTP Installer Readme for help on how to use the installer.
