The great advantage of using our Secure Web Panel over HTTPS is that it is almost always supported by everyone's computers as your users simply access via their web browser.
Our recommended software for FTPS is the same as above for SFTP as they are both superb clients and free! We support both methods and can turn on/off protocols to meet your requirements. FTPS offer two methods of invoking security, 'explicit FTPS' allows legacy FTP clients to connect to the system in addition to FTPS connections where FTPS may not be supported by the client, 'implicit FTPS' enforces the use of SSL encryption and this is not compatible with FTP software that is not 'FTPS aware'. Plus, offers a command-line and scripting interface if you wish to automate operations.įTPS uses SSL to wrap your FTP session and encrypt your data. WinSCP Client - Supports SFTP, FTPS and Standard FTP.
Many software packages support SFTP however in our honest opinion there are two free products that stand out from crowd.įileZilla FTP Client (free) - Supports SFTP, FTPS and Standard FTP. SFTP uses a single port (TCP 22) and consequentially quite firewall friendly. SFTP is becoming increasingly popular due to it's ease of use and encryption. Others may not support or have the ability to use SFTP or FTPS but are happy to use the Secure Web Panel through their browser which requires no additional software.Īdditionally, our Secure Web Panel provides encrypted access over HTTPS using the same technology you see in your browser when you connect to your online banking service and we supply a signed SSL/HTTPS certificate meaning there is no additional cost to you. For example, some of your clients or suppliers may insist on the use of SFTP to transfer data to/from your company. We understand that is a lot of Acronyms, but what this means is that your business can provide secure data access to your clients via many encrypted methods.
This includes access over SFTP (port 22, also sometimes called SCP or SSH File Transfer), FTPS (standard FTP wrapped in SSL encryption, similar to secure websites) and via our Secure Web Panel over HTTPS.
