Secure FTP server for end-to-end file protection

Protect your organization’s sensitive information using a secure file transfer protocol (FTP) server within a unified, comprehensive managed file transfer (MFT) solution: JSCAPE by Redwood.

What is a secure FTP server?

A secure FTP server is a system that allows large organizations to implement secure file transfers, remote file access and file management processes over the internet using a secure shell (SSH) protocol. The secure FTP server protects your data as you transmit files internally and externally.

Secure FTP servers work similarly to secure copy protocols (SCP) by protecting data as it’s transferred over a variety of networks. However, when compared to SCP, secure FTP servers offer more functionality beyond basic file transfers because they empower you to create, rename and delete directories for your files. You can use a secure FTP server solution or an MFT solution that supports secure FTP servers among other network protocols.

JSCAPE is an MFT solution that supports FTP/S, which adds SSL/TLS encryption to the standard FTP connection and provides a secure channel for data transfers. This strong encryption helps to protect sensitive data, such as login credentials and file contents, from being intercepted during transmission, which is essential for organizations that want to better protect their data from cybersecurity breaches.
