SecureFX

SecureFX is a cross-platform file transfer client that promises to secure your data in transit and to streamline file synchronization. Providing robust encryption and authentication algorithms, it makes sure the integrity of your data is not compromised in any way.

Delivering support for secure protocols, such as SFTP (FTP with SSH), FTPS (FTP with TLS), HTTPS or SCP, as well as compatibility with HTTP and FTP for accessing legacy systems, SecureFX comes with advanced capabilities and data handling options. Smart cards are supported, meaning two-factor authentication is supported.

For security reasons, you are prompted to define a configuration passphrase, which is meant to protect sensitive data you might store while using SecureFX, such as account credentials. While this step is optional, it is advisable you do not skip it if you plan on saving your passwords in SecureFX.

The user-friendly interface of SecureFX makes it really easy to work with. The “Quick Connect” window is displayed upon launch, allowing you to easily define a new server connection and save your session for quick future logons.

When not connected to a remote server, SecureFX can be used as a standard file explorer in Windows. On the other hand, connecting to a server turns it into a dual-panel desktop client, which makes file management quite easy. Moreover, the tab-based GUI allows multiple simultaneous connections, allowing network administrators to run multi-file transfers without compromise on speed and security.

The application can initiate file transfers and run data synchronizations, allowing you to set filters and send commands to the remote server. Drag and drop, bookmark support, integrated search and automatic resuming are productivity-related features you might end up loving in SecureFX. It comes with a built-in task scheduler and other automation tools that allow you to run unattended file transfers.

SecureFX is a secure and reliable FTP client with support for multiple protocols and a multitude of productivity-oriented features. With advanced session management, task scheduling and robust security features, it makes a great alternative to applications in its category.
