For the past few decades, many organizations have used the secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) as their main file transfer solution. It’s more secure and less prone to connectivity issues than the archaic file transfer protocol (FTP). However, it’s becoming increasingly clear that SFTP is also starting to age and hit limitations.

Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) and GNU Privacy Guard (GPG) are two cryptographic software tools that enable data encryption, authentication, and integrity. These tools primarily secure email communications and transfer files. In the case of the latter, PGP and GPG can be particularly useful in providing data-in-motion security for unencrypted file transfer protocols like FTP and HTTP. They also provide data-at-rest encryption for files stored in a file transfer server.
