Computer Lab Management replaced AbsoluteFTP in the PC computer rooms with SecureFX. SecureFX uses the SFTP protocol, which is more secure than the standard FTP protocol. FTP transmits all data in the clear text, so it is theoretically possible for malicious users to capture usercode and password data by capturing network traffic. SFTP encrypts all transmissions, so it make the computing environment more secure.
