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?

Hi Rosh ,

The encryption which you are talking is about SSH-Tunel with 3DES or other also and not the data, SFTP encrypts the "connection" between you and the server and later the data is transferred via that tunnel. If you want to actually encrypt the "data" that is being sent then you may go for PGP.
