Users can also use their favourite SFTP client if preferred. Each server is offered with a managed firewall and 7 day backups.

Public key authentication is a secure way to prove identity online, and is a vital part of information security technology for many companies.
Public key authentication uses computer generated numbers called ‘keys’. Two keys are required – a ‘private key’ known only to you, and a ‘public key’ that can be accessed by anyone. The two keys work together, so a message encrypted with the private key can only be decrypted with the public key and vice versa.
As well as needing the correct username and password, public-key authentication requires that the user must also connect using the specific computer that the private key is installed on or authentication will fail. All Secure FTP hosting solutions from Hyve support public-key authentication to provide this additional layer of security.
Our Secure FTP solutions are compatible with the following protocols using the ports listed. Port 21 (FTP) & Port 80 (HTTP) are blocked by default at both server and firewall level to prevent unsecured access.
FTPS | FTP over SSL | Port 990 |
---|---|---|
SFTP | SSH File Transfer Protocol/FTP over SSH | Port 22 |
HTTPS | SSL/Secure File Transfer via Web Browser | Port 443 |
There are two mains methods of transferring data securely; HTTPS using any recent web browser or SFTP/FTPS using software such as FileZilla or CuteFTP. The processes for both methods are described below.
