Secure file transfer using HTTPS with your StingRay
August 18th, 2010In previous posts we’ve mentioned that you’re able to improve the security of your StingRay with the implementation of an SSL certificate. We’re happy to say that a number of customers have taken up this option and are now able to provide secure file transfer for both HTTPS file upload and file download, in addition this extra security level is also then utilised in the Email Hyperlink file sending option.
Example of HTTPS enabled StingRay server
If you would like to provide this extra level of security for your customers, you’ll need to purchase an SSL certificate from one of the major suppliers and arrange for us to securely update your server with the certificate. In the example above you can see this customer has not only secured their server, but done a great job of customising the interface and have set up an A-Record* to make it even more simple for their customers to upload files.
*A-Record - is the server name, in this case ’stingray’, in front of their domain name which forwards to the external address IP of the StingRay or firewall/router.
