Selecting a secure file transfer method can be a very critical component of your organization’s security policy — and even a requirement! Many different industries require compliance and regulations around how data is shared, transferred, uploaded, downloaded and stored from PCs to file servers.
This concise chart below provides a breakdown of the different secure file transfer methods available in most business-grade file transfer programs.
The WS_FTP Professional Security Guide provides more information around the different layers of security.

SC Magazine just published an article with an interview with Frank Kenney, VP of Global Strategy. He recently spoke in London at a press conference for InfoSecurity Europe, Europe’s leading information security event which took place on April 27-29, 2010.
A basic theme of the interview addresses the FTP market and the growing number of files sent back and forth in business environments.
From the article: “Referring to Gartner statistics, Kenney said that the market is growing in FTP, and two million MP3s are moved via email systems every four weeks.
He said: “From the iPhone and iGoogle portal pages to web mail and file-sharing websites to USB drives, corporate IT has to manage and control both sanctioned and ad-hoc applications, processes and systems.”

For many of us, we’re enduring cold weather across the US and around the globe. Some lucky folks have traveled to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2010) in Las Vegas.
One of the cool gadgets already unveiled at the show comes from Microsoft, an HP ’slate’ running on Windows. It’s a touchpad device that Microsoft has announced will be “more powerful than a phone and almost as much as a PC”. They are perfect for reading, browsing the Internet and entertainment.
Microsoft has officially approved WS_FTP Professional 12.2 as a Windows 7 compatible FTP client. This includes compatibility for both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7 operating systems.

If you’ve been watching the tech news this week, Google announced it will begin including real-time searches into it’s SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages). This will be interesting to watch whether this makes the searches more relevant — or just clutters the page with more ’stuff’.
Here’s a screenshot for a search on ‘computers’, and highlighted in red real-time search results:
Large files, such as an architect’s blueprint or a software executable, can take longer to transfer. If you regularly transfer large files, you can use Multipart mode to speed up the transfer.
When in Multipart mode, WS_FTP splits large files into smaller segments and downloads all segments via different, yet concurrent, connections. This decreases the total download time for large individual files.
Check out the WS_FTP Tools Guide, page 7, for step-by-step instructions for setting up Multipart Mode
