There are two types of web spaces that are relevant in Inxmail Professional:
-
Simple web spaces (= WebDAV, FTPS):
Use simple WebDAV or FTPS type web spaces to manage your images and mailing attachments in the
Files & Websites agent. With these web spaces, only the control channel that you use to operate the web space is encrypted.
The actual data that you upload to the web space, such as files and images are not encrypted. This is not a problem if used as intended: after all, web spaces in the
Files & Websites agent are only for uploading images and .pdf attachments for your mailings, which can be publicly accessible.
The web spaces that Inxmail sets up for you are also simple WebDAV or FTPS web spaces.
Do not upload personal data to simple web spaces: The data channel of Inxmail web spaces and other WebDAV or FTPS web spaces is not encrypted. Only upload non-critical data to the web space such as images and .pdf attachments for your newsletters.
-
Secure Webspaces (= SFTP):
Secure / SFTP web spaces are used in Inxmail Professional in combination with Import Automation only They may contain sensitive data such as personal recipient information because with SFTP webspaces, the data channel is encrypted in addition to the control channel. Learn more about setting up secure webspaces as import sources for Import Automation.
Do not use secure web spaces in the
Files & Websites agent: In the
Files & Websites agent, you can only use simple web spaces (WebDAV or FTPS), because the data channel must be unencrypted.
