Why SSH?

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. The WS_FTP Server is available both with and without SSH – while both versions offer strong security, we believe that SSH represents the leading-edge of file transfer security protocols.
