zaSFTP Smartphone documentation


zaSFTP is graphical SFTP client for Pocket PC and MS Smartphone
SFTP, or secure FTP, is a program that uses SSH to transfer files. Unlike standard FTP, it encrypts both commands and data, preventing passwords and sensitive information from being transmitted in the clear over the network. It is functionally similar to FTP, but because it uses a different protocol, you can't use a standard FTP client to talk to an SFTP server, nor can you connect to an FTP server with a client that supports only SFTP.


zaSFTP supports main functions of SFTP v.3.0 protocol. You can download and upload files, manage local and remote file system. ZaSFTP boasts a handful of improvements that make remote administration of Unix and other servers via SFTP protocol using mobile devices safely and more efficient.
