The order that you enter the ciphers indicates the order of preference. PhixFlow uses the first cipher that is listed and is available to encrypt/decrypt the files it transfers.

Enter a list of ciphers, in order of preference, that you want PhixFlow to use for secure file transfer. The list can include:

  • current ciphers

    • 3des-ctr

    • aes128-ctr
