SecureFX is a flexible, secure file transfer client with a tabbed visual interface that’s easy to learn. Advanced features like site synchronization and automation help web designers and system administrators streamline everyday tasks. SecureFX delivers strong security with support for SFTP , FTPS (FTP/TLS), HTTPS (WebDav and S3), HTTP, SCP and 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.
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 as well as server-to-server synchronization. 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 dockable Session Manager lets you arrange hundreds of sites any way you like, and named sessions allow you to save preferences for individual sites. A built-in Credentials Manager allows multiple sessions to share authentication credentials. When monthly, weekly, or even daily password changes are required, credentials can be updated in single location, eliminating the need to manually locate and update individual sessions. 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.
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 (FTP/TLS), HTTPS, HTTP, and SCP 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.
