SCP (Secure Copy)

GoAnywhere Director™ 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
Secure FTP
