Default encryption algorithm for SFTP without PGP

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We are planning to interface third party SFTP server by sending the files in secured manner(without PGP encryption). As per the standard SFTP adapter and SSH Protocol, connection and data are encrypted during the file transfer using secured tunnel.

Will the SFTP adapter use a default encryption if don't PGP encryption? Will SFTP use SSH server default encryption to encrypt data sent from SFTP adapter? we understand SFTP supports multiple encryption, But does SFTP use a default encryption when we are not using PGP encryption in Interface?

If you don't use PGP in addition to your SFTP, there will not be any "default message encryption". If you want your message to be encrypted as well (say a file which you want to be encrypted and sent to third party) then you need to add PGP encryption in addition to your SFTP communication.
