Default secure FTP

I need a secure FTP software. I agree to pay the license. The important thing is to be credible. Currently use an FTP client, but it is very sluggish

Default Re: secure FTP

Secure would be SFTP. That mode is include in all FTP products that I know about. What OS are you using? It's easier to recommend a client with that information.

If you make a FTP connection, traffic can be compressed during transfer, and the transfer will be faster with 40% compared with SFTP method. SFTP is also slow because use secure encryption. I think the problem is not in your FTP client. Everything is as it should be.

Kind Regards

I`m using Filezilla. This is free software with many features.
In your case are the perfect solution:
Supports FTP, FTP over SSL/TLS (FTPS) and SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP)

Hello,
You should note that secureFTP (sFTP) is encrypting data and it is always slower that regular FTP.
