2 WS_FTP: A Complete and Secure Data Management Solution The files that you transfer every day over the Internet are vulnerable to those who d like to intercept your data and get unauthorized access to your information. Now you can protect your data during transfer with the combination of WS_FTP Pro and WS_FTP Server. WS_FTP Server hosts files and folders, while WS_FTP Pro accesses and manages those files. The WS_FTP family uses 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.
