SecureFX®

SecureFX meets your evolving file transfer needs with a single application that lets you choose between SFTP using an encrypted SSH2 connection or FTP over SSL (TLS) for secure transfers, or standard FTP for nonsecure transfers. It has a simple Explorer-like interface, so it's easy to learn and use while offering powerful automation capabilities for unattended, secure file transfers.

SecureFX 6.2 streamlines synchronization and session management, adds new authentication options, and introduces a native 64-bit version for x64 Windows. You can include or exclude files or file types for more control during synchronization operations. Changing settings and passwords for groups of sessions is easy with the ability to simultaneously edit multiple sessions. You can quickly resume your workflow by using the option to automatically connect sessions that were open the last time you ran SecureFX. You now have more options for FTP and FTP/SSL connections with mutual authentication and the ability to establish connections from behind a restrictive firewall. New SSH2 enhancements give you more flexibility in using smart cards and new ways to manage your keys in the Activator.



New for SecureFX 6.2

Synchronization enhancement:

  • Filter files when doing synchronize operations: New filter support allows files to be included or excluded during a sychronize operation, which makes it possible to do things like exclude an .svn folder. Wildcards are supported.

New session management options:

  • Edit multiple sessions at the same time: The Connect dialog allows multiple sessions to be selected and then edited, making it easy to do things like change the passwords for a group of sessions.
  • Remember and connect to sessions from last use: A new option remembers which sessions were open the last time SecureFX ran and connects them automatically.

FTP-related enhancements:

  • Use mutual authentication: Self-signed certificates can be generated and used with FTP/SSL.
  • Establish FTP or FTP/SSL data connections from behind a restrictive firewall: A new option allows the local ports to be limited to a specific range.

SSH2-related enhancements:

  • Use a smart card to authenticate: Support for PKCS#11 simplifies smart-card authentication.
  • Manage your keys: Agent support in the Activator allows keys to be explicitly added and removed.

New installer option:

  • 64-bit Windows support: A native 64-bit version is available for x64 Windows platforms.

Key Features
  • Multiple protcol support: SecureFX supports SSH2 SFTP, FTP/SSL, and conventional FTP in a single client, providing the maximum in flexibility when connecting to a range of remote servers.
  • Drag and drop: SecureFX allows you to drag and drop (or copy and paste) files to and from Windows Explorer, the desktop, and other applications (e.g., WinZip), letting you transfer files more easily.
  • Integration with SecureCRT: SecureFX and SecureCRT can share the global options, session options, and the host key database so you only need to perform operations like setting application defaults, sessions settings, or accepting a server's host key once. SecureCRT and SecureFX can share passwords and passphrases while either application or the Activator utility is running, and both SecureCRT and SecureFX sessions are displayed on the Activator menu. Launch either application from a toolbar button and specify a session to connect to. A combined installer is available that installs both clients and their DLLs into the same folder, making it easy to install SecureCRT and SecureFX and keep them in sync.
  • Relentless transfers: Support for resuming multiple-file transfers. All remaining files in the transfer list are completed after a broken connection is reestablished.
  • Synchronization: Select local and remote folders, choose from upload, download, and mirror options, then fine tune file selection in the synchronization window. Filter support allows files to be included or excluded. To save set up time, Quick Synchronize and Synchronize dialogs provide the option to use paths from the active sessions for synchronize operations. Multiple sites are easy to keep synchronized with a synchronize database that supports saving, editing, and executing synchronize operations. Quick synchronize mirror with delete automatically deletes files or folders that are not on the source from the destination, allowing you to exactly match the destination and source. This is also supported in SFXCL.
  • Site organization: Session settings can be saved in named sessions.The Connect dialog allows multiple sessions to be selected and then
    edited, making it easy to do things like change the passwords for a group of sessions.
  • File permission tools: Support for changing permissions on multiple files at once. When connected to VShell® for Windows version 2.2 or higher, the Properties dialog for the remote file or folder has a Security tab that allows ACL permissions to be viewed.
  • FIPS 140-2 support: When the administrative option to run in "FIPS Mode" is set, SecureFX uses a FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic library and only allows FIPS-approved algorithms.
