Question about secure file transfer

[mariegold]

Hi all, I am running a large scale business and some time I have to transfer large and very important data files to my business partner. I fear about my data because there are many of my business competitors who will definitely try to steal my important data. So there is huge amount of risk involved in sharing my important data on Internet. I recently heard about secure file transfer technique from my friend who is working in well established software company. Does anyone have any idea about what is Secure File Transfer (SFT) service and how does it work?

Hi, I am a programmer and I agree with your doubts. SFT is a secure way to move files between almost any two computers across open networks. Secure FTP is very useful when you require high speed file transfer method. It greatly simplifies the process of securely exchanging data with trading partners and automation of file transfer processes, resulting in increased productivity and immediate return on investment.
Hope this will help you!
Good luck!

Secure File Transfer is the solution for the safe transfer of data needed to address required levels of authentication including digital certificates.

Secure File Transfer uses Tumbleweed SecureTransport™ service software designed to work with industry-standard technologies including SSL and HTTPS. Secure File Transfer encrypts all network traffic (data and control), and transfers files using a single TCP/IP port, allowing the transport to use a proxy server.
