Specialized offerings, such as ShareFile Archiving (for entities subject to SEC or other requirements for data retention), the ShareFile Cloud for Healthcare (for entities that process and store Protected Health Information (PHI)), and a large selection of user-managed security settings help businesses address government and industry mandates around data security, privacy, and retention. Because ShareFile was built specifically for business use, many find it is a good choice for businesses that need to safely send and receive sensitive or confidential documents. The tool you use to share photos with your family might not be the right tool for sharing business documents or confidential client files with colleagues or customers. There are many file-sharing tools on the market today and deciding which one is right for you can be a challenge. (Of course, you can also send password protected PDFs using ShareFile if needed.) ShareFile allows you to send secure links to PDFs and other document types directly from ShareFile or email and lets you track when and by whom the document is downloaded. With ShareFile, you can bypass the hassle of password-protecting a PDF and sending the password over insecure email. Sending the PDF password over email further increases the chance of a security breach. Even a strong password is susceptible to hackers. Password-protected PDFs do not provide robust security for sensitive data. You can connect to ShareFile directly from an FTP/FTPS program, providing a way for users to upload or download files to or from a secure location using existing FTP/FTPS programs. Though ShareFile supports FTP to enable backward compatibility with legacy systems, you can optionally connect to ShareFile using FTP over SSL (FTPS connection over port 990), an inherently more secure method than standard FTP. ShareFile can be accessed using any web browser that can access the Internet and does not require the opening of additional ports or the installation of special software. ShareFile uses and TLS protocols with up to 256-bit high-grade encryption to protect files during transfer. Many people choose to switch from FTP to other tools because FTP can be difficult to set up and manage, lacks user control and reporting features, and is not compatible with mobile devices. Because standard FTP is not able to encrypt data traffic, documents are not protected during transfer.
FTP is a standard network protocol used to transfer files from one host to another via a network.
