Based on the context of securing website files, it appears you are referring to FTP Voyager (often referred to in the context of “wandering” or navigating through files), a popular FTP client designed to manage file transfers securely.

FTP Voyager is a secure, GUI-based FTP client used to securely transfer files between a local computer and a remote server. It is primarily designed to facilitate secure file transfers, aiming to avoid the security risks associated with standard, non-secure FTP, such as using encrypted protocols like FTPS and SFTP. Here is how to use it for securing your website files: Key Security Features and Setup

Secure Protocols: FTP Voyager supports SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) and FTPS (FTP over SSL/TLS) to encrypt data in transit, ensuring that login credentials and file content are protected from interception.

Site Profile Manager: You can configure, save, and manage secure connections for multiple websites. This includes setting up specific FTP addresses, usernames, and passwords for each site.

Automated Transfers: It supports automated, scheduled file transfers, reducing the risk of human error in managing website updates.

Encrypted Connections: To ensure security, it is crucial to avoid “anonymous” logins and use authorized credentials to connect to your server. Basic Setup Steps

Open Site Profile Manager: Access the File menu and click the Site Profile Manager link to open the management window.

Create New Site: Click the “New Site” button and enter the name of your website.

Enter Credentials: Input the website’s FTP address (or IP address if DNS hasn’t propagated) and your secure username and password.

Connect Securely: Choose SFTP or FTPS in the connection settings to ensure the session is encrypted, then click Connect.

For maximum security, always ensure your hosting server supports secure protocols, as the client alone cannot secure an insecure server.
