In depth
A closer look at SecureFX
SecureFX is a secure file transfer client with support for SFTP, FTP/SSL, and FTP protocols. SecureFX combines an easy-to-use, Explorer-like interface with advanced features including relentless file transfers, remote editing, site synchronization, and public-key, X.509 certificate, and Kerberos v5 (GSSAPI) authentication. An optional "FIPS Mode” uses a FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic library and only allows FIPS-approved algorithms. Connect to a site that supports SSH2 and SecureFX has everything you need to create a fully encrypted SFTP session. SecureFX makes it easier than ever to securely transfer files. Establish a secure connection with a mouse click, or type a server name in the Quick Connect dialog. Drag and drop files to and from the server and your desktop, Windows Explorer, and other applications, or perform fully automated, unattended file transfers with the SFXCL command-line utility. Relentless file transfers automatically resume transfers when connections are broken, and Quick Sync provides one-click synchronization between your local files and server. With the tree-based session manager, arrange hundreds of sites. You can conveniently access any open sessions from the Activator tray utility menu. Named sessions let you save preferences for individual sites. Named firewalls can be used on a session-specific basis so that you can work from multiple locations with different firewalls. Firewall options include generic, basic, and unauthenticated HTTP proxies. SecureFX also provides the ability to run multiple instances of the application and support for IPv6. SecureFX supports AES, Twofish, Blowfish, 3DES, and RC4 ciphers. RSA and DSA key formats are supported for host keys and public keys. If you need terminal emulation and file transfer, SecureCRT and SecureFX can share global and session options and host key database so configuring a connection only needs to be done once. Or create a complete file transfer solution with SecureFX and VShell server.
