openFT can send data with encryption if requested by the user (see also the section "Encryption of the file contents").
For file management requests, the user can require the encryption of file and directory list attributes, see section "Encryption for file management requests".
For legal reasons, the encryption option is not available in all countries, i.e. the encrypted file transfer and encrypted file management with foreign partners is not guaranteed in all cases.
Data encrypted by openFT can only be exchanged via the FTP protocol in an outbound direction and only with secure FTP partners. No data encrypted by openFT can be exchanged with FTAM partners.
Encrypted file transfer and encrypted file management always require openFT-CR to be installed on the openFT side, i.e. also on the partner system if openFT is running there.
