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
Explorer-like interface, so it's easy to learn and use while offering
powerful automation capabilities for unattended, secure file transfers.

New in SecureFX 6.7
|
|
| Bookmarks |
Set and reuse bookmarks to save time accessing regularly used directory locations, especially if directories are several levels deep. |
| 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. |
Logical sort for Connect dialog |
Option to sort sessions logically in the Connect dialog, which is useful when session names contain numbers. |
/TransferType flag for SFXCL |
Specify the transfer type (ASCII or binary) for all the files in the operation. |
| User authentication |
SecureFX supports password, public key (RSA, DSA, and 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 |
Public Key Assistant allows easy and secure
upload of public keys to the server. |
| Data encryption |
Select 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 conventional 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.
|
| 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 support 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. Drag-and-drop move is also
supported by holding down the ALT 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. |
| Windows Explorer look and feel |
Familiar interface that is easy to learn and navigate. |
| Supports Network Neighborhood |
Simple, easy-to-learn network file browsing and transfer. |
| 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. |
| 32-bit Windows application |
SecureFX was built as a 32-bit application from the ground up.
SecureFX is supported under Windows 7, Windows Server 2008/R2, Windows Server 2003/R2, Windows Vista, and
Windows XP for x86 and x64. |
| 64-bit Windows application |
A native 64-bit version is available for x64 Windows platforms. |
| Integration with SecureCRT® |
SecureFX and SecureCRT
for Windows 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 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. |
| 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.
|
| Customize the toolbar and menu |
Support for dragging and dropping toolbar and menu
items, making it easy to modify the menu and toolbar to suit your
needs. |
| Support for U3 smart drives |
When installed to a U3 smart drive using the SecureFX U3 installer,
SecureFX saves configuration and settings to the U3 drive, making
it completely portable. |
| Firewall support |

SOCKS4, SOCKS5, CSM, WinGate, WinProxy, and Raptor, unauthenticated
and basic HTTP proxy, and generic proxy. |
| Site organization |
Create custom sessions and organize them in the Connect
dialog in any order as well as alphabetically. Use friendly site
names, move sites anywhere in the site tree, and copy/paste site
definitions. 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. |
| Busy site retry |
Automatically reconnects to sites that refuse an initial
connection because of too many users. |
| Quote commands |
Send server-specific commands beyond the standard
FTP set. |

Generate keys in OpenSSH format or convert VanDyke
Software format private keys to OpenSSH format so that the same
keys can be used with other Secure Shell clients. |
| Enhanced host-key management |
Key management in SecureFX includes the ability to
view, import, and export host keys. |
| Remote file editing |
Right-click on any file on the remote site and open
it for editing. Optionally, the file being edited is uploaded to
the remote server each time the file is saved on the local machine. |
| Command-line automation with SFXCL utility |
Use SFXCL to automate routine secure file transfer operations with
batch scripts. Combined with public key-only authentication, it
is possible to automate secure, unattended file transfer processes.
SFXCL also supports deleting, renaming, moving, and listing files. |
| Change file permissions on server |
Change read/write/execute permissions as allowed by
logon. |
| Upload file permissions |
Specify file permissions for uploaded files. |
| Use environment variables in paths |

USERPROFILE in paths specified in SecureFX global and session options,
making it easier to move/copy settings to other machines and to
create configurations that will work for multiple users. |
| Resolve symbolic links |
Select this option to automatically resolve symbolic
links. |
| MSI installers |
MSI support allows you to distribute the applications through
your distributions server using Group Policy and to automate installs
through SMS or other install programs. |
| Autohide dot files |
With this option on, dot files such as .cshrc and
.login are not displayed and do not clutter the file listing. |
| Default upload file permissions |
Whether you need to make sure only you can read your
files or make sure that the uploaded files are readable by the world,
you can define UMASK permissions for each site to get the needed
results. |
