SCP (Secure Copy) Client

Securing Data Transmissions

Text

GoAnywhere MFT supports SCP (Secure Copy) for securing data transmissions with your trading partners. SCP creates an encrypted tunnel using SSH between two computer systems and will protect against the following attacks:

  • IP spoofing, where a remote host sends out packets which pretend to come from another, trusted host
  • IP source routing, where a host can pretend that an IP packet comes from another, trusted host
  • DNS spoofing, where an attacker forges name server records
  • Interception of cleartext passwords and other data by intermediate hosts
  • Manipulation of data by attackers in control of intermediate hosts
