Data protection

Secure from
the first click.

Ghost FTP is designed to keep your data under your control, from downloading the installer to every file transfer.

Verify before installation

Download installers only from this website. Every release includes a SHA-256 checksum so you can verify that the file has not been modified.

SHA-256 checksums

Your passwords stay yours

Server credentials are encrypted and stored locally on your computer. They are never sent to us or third parties, and you can use an SSH private key instead.

Encrypted by default

Ghost FTP supports SFTP and FTPS, which encrypt all traffic end to end. Use unencrypted FTP only when you know it is safe.

No tracking or unnecessary cloud

The app does not collect data about your files or servers. Anonymous analytics are disabled by default and can remain permanently disabled in Preferences.
