256-bit AES transfer encryption

Best-in-class 256-bit AES encryption securely protects files during transfers over SSL / FTPS, SSH / SFTP and HTTPS connections. Protects files from being compromised during transfer and ensures the secure transfer between two locations. 256-bit is the highest level of encryption commercially available in FTP clients.

PGP file encryption

Industry’s first integrated OpenPGP mode to encrypt individual files to enable secure file management before and after transfer. Only individuals with the appropriate key can decrypt PGP files. Supports AES and 3DES ciphers, offers signature (key) strength from 1024 up to 4096 bits and support for RSA and Diffie-Hellman key types with expirable keys.

File integrity checking uses built-in file verification mechanisms to validate that transferred files have not been compromised in any way. Our industry leading SHA256 and SHA512 technologies ensure that the source and destination are exact matches.
