IPSwitch WS_FTP Server

Unrivalled Security. Powerful Administrator Control.

 

How secure is your data?

IT departments today are faced with the challenge of managing file transfers in an environment of data breaches, regulatory compliance, corporate governance requirements, and more. To overcome these challenges, server administrators need to make company data easily available to employees, data that is often highly sensitive, ranging from sales information, health records, and credit card information to earnings statements and intellectual property.

Managing this data includes the actual transport, but also other areas such as user provisioning and authentication, enforcing rules for server access, encryption, and user bandwidth as well as visibility into server logs for reports and audits. Additionally, IT departments not only need to enable person-to-server and system-to-system interactions, but they must also enable employees to share information with each other as well as with people outside the company. All of this must be accomplished while enforcing file and data transfer policies and preventing unauthorized users from accessing private company information.

What SSH means to you

SSH is the world’s fastest-growing file transfer protocol. More secure and robust than basic FTP and SSL connections, SSH automatically delivers encrypted communications during and throughout file transport. Proven in stringent education and government/military environments, SSH is supported by most operating systems (including UNIX/Linux) and is firewall-friendly due to its use of a single port for uploading and downloading.
