Fend News

SFTP is Coming Soon!


Fend is adding on-diode support for SFTP in its upcoming firmware release. Just like with FTP, FTPS, TCP, and other protocols, you'll be able to connect with a variety of applications across operating systems and get data where you need it in a physically-enforced, one-way fashion. We're also enhancing our interface with:

  • Support for FTP/S to hostname targets
  • Configurable FTP/S timeouts 
  • Support for implicit FTPS
  • End to end TLS support


Order today and you'll get access this latest firmware version upon release. Call us at +1-571-970-1382 x3 or write sales@fend.tech today!
