Overview: Symmetric vs. Asymmetric Encryption Secure file transfer protocols generally employ a combination of symmetric and asymmetric encryption to preserve the confidentiality of data while in transit.

Used at the start of a Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) session, an SFTP key is a type of credential you load on an SFTP client to authenticate with an SFTP server. SFTP keys are commonly used in automated SFTP file transfers, but you can also use them in user-initiated file transfers, either on their own or alongside a password for two-factor authentication (2FA).

For enterprise organizations, sharing sensitive data is a natural part of business processes. Organizations frequently send files like payroll records, contracts, healthcare data and other sensitive details that cannot fall into the wrong hands. One mistake in your enterprise file transfer process isn’t just a security breach: it’s a compliance issue, a loss of trust with your partners, a reputationally damaging headline and even the start of a class-action lawsuit.

Overview AnyClient has a special feature that allows it to automatically decrypt OpenPGP encrypted files upon download. This can cut down the number of steps for decrypting files, which normally involves using a separate OpenPGP encryption/decryption tool like GPG.

Small and medium-sized businesses in the US typically have Internet connections with upload speeds of up to 10 Mbps (Megabits per second). At that speed, a 100 GB upload will need about a day to complete. Most people, on the other hand, have upload speeds of only around 0.6 Mbps. This would theoretically translate to a 2-day upload for the same 100 GB load.
