VanDyke's Solutions for Secure File Transfer

VanDyke Software's VShell®, SecureCRT®, SecureFX® and command-line utility products provide broad support for secure file transfer. These products enable the applications illustrated in this paper and are deployed in a wide variety of industries, ranging from IT, financial, education, and business/consulting services to healthcare, internet, and telecommunications service providers.

SecureCRT supports SFTP, Xmodem, and Zmodem protocols for secure file transfer operations.

SecureFX is a Windows file transfer client that supports SFTP and FTP protocols, integrated into one easy-to-use graphical user interface. SecureFX is inexpensive and takes just a minute to install. It offers an extensive set of security options, including AES and Blowfish encryption and RSA/DSA public-key authentication. SecureFX supports multiple concurrent file transfers. Advanced features include convenient drag-and-drop file transfer, one-click folder synchronization, and network neighborhood integration.

VShell is a full-featured Secure Shell server for Windows and UNIX platforms. It supports SSH2 command shell and port-forwarded sessions initiated from SecureCRT or any standard SSH2 client. In addition, it supports secure file transfer from any Windows or UNIX SFTP or SCP(2) client, including SecureFX SFTP and the vcp command-line utility. VShell offers password, public-key, Kerberos, keyboard-interactive, and X.509 certificate authentication, and enforces Windows access restrictions based on user account, privilege and file permissions. Easy-to-define filters can permit or deny access to clients, identified by IP address, subnet, hostname, or domain. SFTP access can be limited to specific users or groups. A root folder can be specified to limit access to only a section of the file system. Access to individual files and folders under this root can be further restricted using Windows permissions. Replacing an unsecured Microsoft IIS FTP server with a secure VShell SFTP server can be accomplished in less than five minutes. VShell licenses are available for administrator, workgroup, or enterprise use.

VanDyke Software command line utilities provide the ability to automate secure file transfer operations. These utilities are included with VShell Server and are available as a separate product — the VanDyke ClientPack. vcp is a Windows command-line SCP(2) utility, perfect for scripting routine administrative tasks that might otherwise be accomplished over FTP without security. vcp brings the convenience and security of UNIX SCP(2) to any Microsoft Windows platform. vsftp is an interactive SFTP command-line utility providing quick, easy, and secure file transfer operations.
