Encryption Between Beyond FTP Sites

Reference:        Beyond FTP Private Key Management

Each Beyond FTP installation must have address book entries for the remote servers with which it will communicate.  Each site must also be assigned a key phrase.  If you elect to use a single key phrase for all sites, only This Computer must be assigned a private key.  If you elect to use different keys, you must make assignments for each server in the address book that will support encryption.

For example, suppose there are two Beyond FTP sites: Boston and Chicago.  You might assign key phrases as follows:

            At Boston:
                        This Computer               Now is the time for all good men
                        Chicago                        The quick brown fox jumped

            At Chicago:
                        This Computer               The quick brown fox jumped
                        Boston                         Now is the time for all good men

When Boston calls Chicago, Boston sends all data encrypted with the key from the Chicago address book entry.  Chicago sends all data to Boston using the This Computer entry.
