SFTP (SSH2) Add-On Module

What is SFTP?

SFTP is a subset of the popular SSH protocol and is a platform independent, secure transfer protocol preferred by IT professionals worldwide.  SFTP provides a single connection port for easy firewall navigation, password and public key authentication and strong data encryption, which prevents login, data, and session information from being intercepted and/or modified in transit. Secure FTP Server’s SFTP extension enables it to authenticate and transfer data securely with SFTP-ready FTP clients, such as CuteFTP Professional.

SFTP Benefits

• Ease of Administration - single connection port for transversal of firewalls
• Ease of Integration - one-click setup, cross platform support and maximum connectivity coverage
• Heightened Security - greater identity protection through public key authentication
• Guaranteed Data Integrity - built-in data checking mechanisms
• Greater Control - enhanced management of keys, ciphers, MACs and more
