Overview

This article explains how to set up a site to use SSL in FTP Voyager. FTP Voyager Secure Edition supports the use of FTPS and SFTP for secure connections to servers. Using FTPS or SFTP provides a fully-encrypted session that hides the user name, password and critical data while in transit.

After the SSL settings are added, FTP Voyager assumes that the server associated with this site profile is FTPS or SFTP-enabled. If it is not, any attempts to connect will fail until either the server is configured to allow secure connections, or you connect again using standard FTP. If the SSL connection is established, extra status messages will be displayed to confirm that SSL mode has been activated.
