With Secure FTP, your file data, user name, password, in fact everything, is highly encrypted before sending or receiving, using a complex key known only by the server and you.

Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) and Secure Socket Layer (FTPS), the universal standards for secure file transfer, are both built right into the core of Yummy FTP's file transfer engine, which utilizes the highly regarded OpenSSH and OpenSSL implementations at the heart of Mac OS X.

SFTP, FTP SSL/TLS and Implicit SSL modes are all fully supported and are compatible with ssh agent and ssh_config configurations.

Every possible SFTP feature has been built into Yummy FTP, including Keyfile Authentication, modification date & permissions syncing, and the ability to set user and group IDs. To top it off, all your FTP and SFTP user connection credentials are stored in your Keychain, Apple's highly secure repository for all your passwords and certificates.
