SecureFX is a flexible, secure file transfer client with a tabbed visual interface that’s easy to learn. SecureFX offers advanced features like site synchronization and automation to help web designers and system administrators streamline everyday tasks. SecureFX delivers strong security with support for SFTP, FTP over SSL (TLS), and SCP protocols as well as FTP. When you connect to a site that supports SSH2, SecureFX has everything you need to create a fully-encrypted SFTP session.

With SecureFX, it’s easier than ever to perform secure file transfers. Establish a secure connection with a mouse click, or type a server name in the Connect Bar, and then drag and drop files to start transfers to and from a server and your desktop. On Windows platforms, you can even drag and drop files between SecureFX and applications like Windows Explorer and WinZip. The SFXCL command-line utility allows you to automate unattended file transfers (Windows only).

SecureFX works to complete interrupted transfers, with a resume on multi-transfer mode and a “relentless” transfer mode that automatically reconnects and resumes transfers when connections are broken.

SecureFX site synchronization handles upload, download, and true mirroring transfers. Mirroring includes automatically deleting files or folders that are not on the source directory from the destination directory, allowing you to exactly match the destination and source. Filters for synchronize operations allow you to control which files and folders are affected. For one-click synchronization, use the Quick Synchronize dialog to configure your synchronization settings; then press a toolbar button to initiate a synchronize operation using those settings. If you need to keep more than one remote site synchronized, the Synchronize dialog lets you create, save, and manage session synchronizations, and initiate comparison operations. Commonly used configurations can be saved in the synchronize database for quick recall.

Quickly find the files you want to work with using the filter view, bookmarks, and the address bar. The tree-based session manager lets you arrange hundreds of sites any way you like, and named sessions allow you to save preferences for individual sites. A personal data folder provides private and separate storage of usernames, passwords, and automated logon information so that other configuration data can be stored on a network drive or in the cloud for use on different systems or for sharing with colleagues. Named firewalls can be used on a session-specific basis so that you can work from multiple locations with different firewalls. SecureFX also provides support for IPv6 and the ability to run multiple instances of the application.

SecureFX supports AES, AES-CTR, Twofish, Blowfish, 3DES, and RC4 ciphers. Authentication methods include password, keyboard interactive, public-key, and X.509 (including self-signed certificate) authentication as well as Kerberos v5 authentication via GSSAPI. RSA and DSA key formats are supported for host keys and public keys.

If you need both terminal emulation and file transfer, SecureCRT® and SecureFX are closely integrated, sharing sessions and settings so that you can run SFTP, FTP, SCP, and FTP/SSL file transfer sessions without reentering passwords. Or for a complete file transfer solution, combine SecureFX with the VShell® server to provide fine-tuned file transfer privileges on a user or group basis.
