sensitive data.

DES, Diffie-Hellman and DSA
- Support for both Explicit and Implicit SSL connections

File Filters
File filters give you the ability to decide what all files may be viewed, uploaded,
downloaded or deleted within JFTP. You can set up inclusion
or exclusion filters on local and/or remote files based on
a variety of criteria such as:
- File name pattern using regular expressions
- Modification date of the files
- Attributes of the files (if a file is hidden or not)
With the help of file filters, uploading all the files in your site that were
modified on a specific date is as easy as a click of a mouse. No more need to
spend time in picking up individual files in several directories of your web
site.
Certificate Manager
JFTP comes with a built-in certificate manager to manage all your trusted certificates.
Certificates are used to establish secured FTP connections. Using the certificate
manger, you can -
- Import certificates into your trusted certificates database
