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

|
| SecureFX for Mac and Linux |
SecureFX for Mac and Linux delivers the same advanced capabilties as SecureFX for Windows, including multiple file transfer protocols, and advanced features like site synchronization and easy recovery of failed transfers. Integration with SecureCRT saves time with shared sessions and settings. |
|
|
|
| Dependent session option |
Link a session to an SSH2 session that it depends on, which allows connection to a jump host before connecting to other sessions. |
|
|
|
| Support for SHA1 in RSA signatures (Windows only) |
Support for SHA1 in RSA signatures, in addition to MD5, allows X.509 certificates to be used in FIPS mode. |
|
|
|
| User authentication |
SecureFX supports password, public key (RSA, DSA, and on Windows X.509
including smart cards), Kerberos v5 (via GSSAPI), and keyboard interactive
when connecting to SSH2 servers. Support for FTP/SSL mutual authentication
is supported using self-signed certificates. |
|
|
|
| Public
Key Assistant |
Support for Public Key Assistant makes uploading public keys to
an SSH2 server simple and safe for end users. |
|
|
|
| Data encryption |
Choose from a wide selection of ciphers including AES, AES-CTR,
Twofish, Blowfish, 3DES, and RC4 to ensure strong data encryption.
|
|
|
|
| Data integrity |
Guarantee
the integrity of each message sent over the network (preventing replay
or insertion attacks). |
|
|
|
| Host identity verification |
Unique server host key proves its identity
to a client as a "known" host (preventing a man
in the middle attack). |
|
|
|
| X.509 certificate user authentication support |
Smart card-based public-key authentication using X.509-compatible
certificates supports highly secure two-factor authentication.
SecureFX supports the PKCS #12 (.pfx) standard file format for
X.509 certificates and private keys. PKCS #11 is also supported,
allowing a cryptographic token interface to be used. X.509 host
key checking automatically accepts the host key if the certificate
is valid.
|
|
|
|
| GSSAPI support |
Support for GSSAPI secured key exchange for SSH2 connections. Mechanisms
supported depend on GSSAPI provider. Only the Kerberos v5 mechanism has
been tested. For SSH2 connections, the Server Principal Name (SPN) can
be specified in the GSSAPI Properties dialog.
|
|
|
|
| Multiple protocol support |
SecureFX supports SSH2 SFTP, FTP/SSL, SCP, and legacy FTP in a
single client, providing the maximum in flexibility when connecting
to a range of remote servers. Support for RFC 2228 Clear Command Channel “CCC” provides enhanced compatibility with SSL servers.
|
|
|
|
| Protocol updates |
Support for SFTP through version 6.
|
|
|
|
| Site synchronization |
Select local and remote folders, choose from upload, download,
and mirror options, then fine tune file selection in the synchronization
window. Filtering with wildcard support allows files to be included
or excluded during a synchronize operation, which makes it possible
to do things like exclude an .svn folder. To save set up time,
Quick Synchronize and Synchronize dialogs optionally 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 (Windows only).
|
|
|
|
| Multiple simultaneous connections and transfers |
Set up all of your connections and transfers in one
SecureFX application window — avoid cluttering your desktop. |
|
|
|
| Complete upload control |
No surprise accidental overwrites of files on the remote
host with SecureFX's option to prompt on upload overwrites. |
|
|
|
| "Relentless" file transfer |
Automatically reconnect after a broken connection and
resume the transfer. |
|
|
|
| Resume file transfers |
Resumes transfer of one or more files — saves
time, especially with large files. |
|
|
|
| "Throttle" transfer bandwidth |
Limit the bandwidth used during file transfers to keep from consuming all available bandwidth. |
|
|
|
| Specify number of parallel transfers |
Specify the number of parallel file transfers, and as transfers are completed, queued files will continually fill available slots. |
|
|
|
| Move files |
Transfer and delete files in one step with the /Move
flag in the SFXCL command-line utility (Windows only). Drag-and-drop move is also
supported by holding down the ALT or Command key. |
|
|
|
| Transfer queue |
When connected to a host, you can now queue up files
to be transferred. Transfers are done serially, preventing errors
if the remote FTP server doesn't allow multiple connections. Drag
files to the transfer queue, resize the transfer queue window, and
hide or show columns. |
|
|
|
| File transfer server support |
A wide range of file transfer servers is supported by SecureFX including
MVS, VMS, Windows, UNIX, and many others.
|
|
|
|
| SFTP ASCII file transfer option |
Text format files can be sent as raw text rather than
in binary format for more compatible transfers of files like HTML
and server logs between different operating systems. |
|
|
|
| Tabbed sessions |
Keep your sessions organized by grouping them together as you like. Layout options include vertical, horizontal, and a single group. |
|
|
|
| Drag-and-drop from Windows Explorer |
SecureFX allows you to drag-and-drop files between a remote server
and your desktop, Windows Explorer, and other applications like
WinZip.
|
|
|
|
| Address bar |
An editable address bar shows the current path of the local or
remote session as well as a history of the most recently used paths,
allowing you to navigate easily between paths, type paths, or copy
and paste paths to and from the clipboard. |
|
|
|
| Connect bar |
Use a text entry box on the toolbar to quickly connect new sessions without having to open a dialog. The Connect bar supports command-line options for maximum flexibility. |
|
|
|
| Bookmarks |
Set and reuse bookmarks to save time accessing directory locations regularly, especially if directories are several levels deep. |
|
|
|
| Filter View |
Quickly find specific folders and files in local and remote sessions by using the toolbar filter. Wildcards make it easy to find the exact set of files you want to transfer. |
|
|
|
| Easy-to-use UI |
The visual interface is easy to learn and navigate. |
|
|
|
| Quick Connect |
Simple interface to connect with minimum setup; select
a protocol, enter a hostname and connect. Quick Connect dialog supports
SFTP and FTP. |
|
|
|
| New Session wizard |
Guided setup simplifies the creation of new sessions. |
|
|
|
| Minimal setup |
Ready to use as installed without configuration —
file types and sessions are already defined. |
|
|
|
| Sound notifications |
Set up SecureFX to be notified by a sound when a transfer
completes, when a session connects, when a session disconnects unexpectedly,
or when there is an error. |
|
|
|
| Windows 32-bit and 64-bit applications |
SecureFX supports 32-bit applications under Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Vista, and Windows XP. A native 64-bit version is available for x64 Windows hardware platforms. |

|
|
|
| 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, session settings, or accepting a server's host key once.
SecureCRT and SecureFX can share passwords and passphrases while
either application is running.
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 libraries into the same folder, making it easy to install
SecureCRT and SecureFX and keep them in sync. |
|
|
|
| Activator session manager |
Activator will display all of your current SecureFX and SecureCRT
sessions in one handy menu. Activator also acts as an SSH agent
so that passphrases only have to be entered once per key as long
as Activator is running. Agent support in the Activator allows
keys to be explicitly added and removed.
