Industry-leading security. Powerful administrator controls. Flexible file transfer. WS_FTP Server delivers all of this and more – giving you a proven, secure, and scalable solution that’s right for you.

Why SSH?

SSH is the world's fastest-growing file transfer protocol. More secure and robust than basic FTP and SSL connections, SSH automatically delivers encrypted communications during and throughout file transport. Proven in stringent education and government/military environments, SSH is supported by most operating systems (including UNIX/Linux) and is firewall-friendly due to its use of a single port for uploading and downloading. The WS_FTP Server is available both with and without SSH – while both versions offer strong security, we believe that SSH represents the leading-edge of file transfer security protocols.

WS_FTP Server Tip

Purchasing more than one WS_FTP Server solution is the best way to optimize the performance of your server farm. With multiple WS_FTP Server solutions, it's easy to maintain a redundant, balanced, and highly available file transfer server solution.

Ipswitch File Transfer's Solutions

WS_FTP Server family

Using OpenSSL FIPS (an open source project sponsored by Hewlett Packard, the DoD Military Health System, and the Open-Source Software Institute), WS_FTP Server's FIPS module supports AES (up to 256-bit), Triple DES, and HMAC SHA-1 encrypted transfer.

WS_FTP Server's encryption transfer, integrity checking (FTP, HTTP, and HTTPS), HTTPS transport, FTP commands, and data-stream encryption are all validated under the FIPS-validated module. These all use AES encryption for transaction privacy and HMAC SHA 1 for data-integrity checking. WS_FTP's solution is validated by FIPS certificate 918, with specific protocols validated by 613, 668, 701, and 352 (under the OSSI's Open SSL).

MOVEit product family

MOVEit DMZ and MOVEit Central application both use FIPS-validated AES and SHA-1 for encryption. MOVEit's validation falls under 140-2 certificate 310, with specific protocols validated by certificates 30 and 124. (Incidentally, all certificates mentioned here are recognized both in the US and Canada.)

MOVEit DMZ

MOVEit DMZ uses FIPS-validated modules for file encryption, HTTP and HTTPS, FTP integrity checking, and encryption of sensitive database fields. Together with a FIPS-validated Windows operating system, MOVEit DMZ also uses a FIPS-validated encryption for HTTPS transport, FTP commands, and data-stream encryption.

MOVEit Central

MOVEit Central also uses FIPS-validated encryption for encryption of configuration files, and for HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP integrity checking (which uses both a MOVEit proprietary integrity check as well as a standard XSHA1). With a FIPS-validated Windows operating system, MOVEit Central is also FIPS-validated for HTTPS transport encryption, FTP command, and data stream encryption.
