Ciphers

#1 Post by eogar » 2006-07-31 13:26

Hello,

Is it possible to configure what session ciper is used? Can it be enforced by the Filezilla server? Can it be requested by the Filezilla client?

I think by default, it uses the arcfour stream cipher. Is it possible to force a triple DES cipher?

Thanks,
-E

Do you mean SSL/TLS secured connections?

The log shows this cipher is used by default for connections between FileZilla Client and Server:
Trace: Using TLSv1, cipher TLSv1/SSLv3: AES256-SHA, 1024 bit RSA
This is a few orders of magnitude more secure than both arcfour (better known as RC4) or triple DES.
