WS_FTP Professional
Windows client for secure FTP, SFTP and FTPS file transfers.
WS_FTP Professional — Windows secure FTP, SFTP and FTPS client
Organisations that exchange files with external partners or run legacy systems need a simple, controllable transfer tool. Desktop clients remain common where automated APIs or cloud storage aren't an option.
WS_FTP Professional provides secure FTP, SFTP and FTPS transfers, connection profile management and transfer logging. It helps teams keep predictable transfers, reproduce issues and maintain records for operational use.
Where WS_FTP Professional is used
Operations teams use WS_FTP Professional to push batch exports to partner SFTP endpoints and pull supplier files on schedule.
Support staff use it to recreate transfer failures, check transfer logs and validate permissions when troubleshooting integrations with legacy servers.
Suitable environments
Best suited to small and medium organisations with in-house IT, teams exchanging files with external partners, regulated firms needing transfer logs, and environments that retain legacy FTP/SFTP workflows rather than cloud-first exchange.
Benefits
SSH, SSL, and HTTPS support
Safeguard your files at every stage of transfer with 256-bit AES encryption, FIPS 140-2 validated cryptography, and OpenPGP file encryption. Use SFTP to securely authenticate and connect to servers requiring SSH clients that respond to server-defined authentication prompts, in addition to a username.
Easy to Use
Quickly find and transfer files with integrated search support from Google™, Copernic™, and Windows® desktop search engines. Filter results by file type, size, or date for precise file management. This SFTP client enables instant connections to multiple servers, allowing seamless drag-and-drop transfers of files of any size and type—whether between your computer and a remote server or directly from one server to another.
Easy to administrate
Securely archive your critical folders and files, schedule recurring transfers, and synchronise data across virtually any location, device, drive, or server. Take advantage of built-in features like email notifications, automated backups, file synchronisation, compression, post-transfer actions, and flexible scheduling for seamless file management.
Features
Integrated File Encryption
Secure your file management before and after transfer with OpenPGP encryption. Our fully integrated public-key/private-key encryption supports AES and 3DES ciphers, offers signature key strengths from 1,024 to 4,096 bits, and is compatible with RSA and Diffie-Hellman key types for robust data protection.
Backup
Securely archive your most important files and folders with scheduled, compressed backups. Store them safely on USB drives, DVDs, network directories, servers, or cloud hosting services, ensuring reliable data protection and easy recovery.
Synchronisation
The WS_FTP Synchronization utility allows you to automatically mirror files and directories across local storage, remote sites, network drives, and USB devices with minimal effort, ensuring seamless and up-to-date file management.
FIPS 140-2 Validated Cryptography
When FIPS mode is enabled, WS_FTP secures file transfers over SSH, FTP with SSL, and HTTPS using FIPS 140-2 validated encryption ciphers, ensuring compliance with stringent security standards.
