Increasingly, large data centers and computing facilities are prohibiting File Transfer Protocol (FTP) transfers of sensitive data over unprotected networks because FTP is unable to deliver encrypted data transfer. FTP can expose not only data but also passwords and filenames.

Secure File Transfer is the solution for the safe transfer of data needed to address required levels of authentication including digital certificates.

Secure File Transfer uses Tumbleweed SecureTransport™ service software designed to work with industry-standard technologies including SSL and HTTPS. Secure File Transfer encrypts all network traffic (data and control), and transfers files using a single TCP/IP port, allowing the transport to use a proxy server.

Client software is available for various computer platforms. Files can be sent securely and received via a Web browser, with a graphical client, or with a command line client. The command line client can be invoked in a script using commands similar to the FTP command set. Data is delivered more reliably than e-mail and at
network speed.

Secure File Transfer integrates with the state's security architecture while it safeguards document and data delivery over the Internet. Agencies can use this software solution to cover a wide range of applications at the same time they cut private network costs.
