WS_FTP Professional includes two built-in OpenPGP modes, enabling the encryption of individual files on your computer to protect them when stored locally, to secure files used as email and IM attachments or stored on laptops, networks or removable media, as well as to automatically encrypt a file before transferring it to a remote server.

Automation Features Enhance Productivity

WS_FTP Professional includes an industry-leading set of easily programmed automation features that simplify file transfer tasks, save time and improve communications.

SCHEDULE: Program your most critical transfers by scheduling one-time or more elaborate recurring scheduling frequencies.
BACKUP: Safely archive folders and files to protect against data loss. Schedule and compress backups to any location such as USB or DVD drives, network directories, server connections, FTP sites or your ISP.
SYNCHRONIZATION: Have one folder mirror the contents of another. Easily define which files get transferred and how new or updated files are handled. Great tool for updating a website or sharing files on a server.
EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS: Automatically send email notifications when file transfers occur to immediately inform people that new file has been transferred. Many users also send email confirmations to themselves to verify that a file transfer has been completed.
COMPRESSION: Increase transfer speeds and security by automatically compressing and password protecting files into .ZIP format before uploading
SCRIPTING: Automate recurring transfer tasks with the programmable scripting.
POST TRANSFER FILE AUTOMATION: Schedule a post transfer file action such as deleting, moving or renaming the source file after it has been transferred.
