Return to Table of Contents Transferring via SFTP Everlaw uses SFTP and not FTP because regular FTP does not use encryption while transferring. The commands, data, and passwords are all encrypted before being sent across the network, meaning your sensitive information is safe while your data is transferred. SFTP is secure because it requires an authentication process. More simply, it allows you to securely download your files from Everlaw to your local machine via third-party applications. This is a secure process that allows you to transfer files over a “Secure Shell” (SSH) data stream. SFTP or SSH File Transfer Protocol is a secure file transfer protocol.
