Need names of good, secure, FTP sites - sm

Posted By: Laura E. on 2006-01-04
In Reply to:

that are easy to use and access.  Have a doctor's office that will be sending me digital voice files in the next couple of weeks and need to switch them over easily to a new "system".  I prefer FTP though since I only have dial-up and I am used to using it with another job. Any preferences out there? Thanks.

Good drug book vs. internet drug sites
I need to buy a new drug book.  At a prior job, about a year ago, one of the supervisors told me she used the internet exclusively.  What's the consensus and if you prefer the internet, which site or sites do you like.  Thanks in advance.
secure
Hi. Don't get freaked out. This happens all the time. As long as you are online, someone somewhere is going to try to invade you. As long as you have a firewall, you are safe. Don't worry. It was just a notification by Norton that they are doing their job. Rest easy.
Secure FTP...(sm)
To enable secure FTP, there must be a secure FTP server somewhere, as well as a secure FTP client on your local system (and on the system of anyone else who is uploading or downloading files to or from the server).

You could, technically speaking, run your own secure FTP server but most likely you'll want to use a secure FTP hosting provider. Google the phrase "secure FTP hosting", including the quotes, and browse the results to check out pricing.

For the secure FTP client, there are a number of choices ranging from free to $$. Before choosing one, though, I would get the hosting issue above settled and ask whether they recommend any particular client. If not, you can Google "secure FTP client" and browse the results, looking for two things:

1. An easy to use graphical interface that will let you "drag and drop" files to effect transfers to/from the server.

2. The price range you want. This, to me, would be secondary to item #1 above though.


A secure FTP would be the best way - sm
I would love to know how to get one myself/set one up too. I know how to use a FTP program to upload/download to my jobs to a FTP site, but have no clue how to go about setting one up for myself so I can have my one account send me their voice files that way. So I use mydocsonline.com for that purpose right now which is not expensive--$99 a year, price goes up with the number of users though. Very easy to use too. But I am sure if I could get my own secure FTP site it would be cheaper (I hope) though some appear to be a bit pricy from what I recall when I have looked into this before.
When people use last names for first names.
You can't tell what sex the person is, and it just sounds so pretentious and stupid.

Hunter, Tyler, Taylor, Cameron, Morgan, Parker, Porter.

Really soap-operaish and annoying.
I don't believe this is a secure server.

Having said that, if you encrypt any files BEFORE uploading to their server, you should be OK. There is a webpage where you can ask specific questions--the link is below.


Your information is probably more secure than ever before.
http://www.mtstars.com/docs/statement.html
A cell phone is not secure, so using it to

listen to dictation is not viable.  I have downloaded digital files via cell phone in a pinch, like during storms when I lose land-line.  If you got dictation via cell, you would have to re-record because there is no way to start/stop the dictation to transcribe live.  The quality of the dictation would not be as good as a land line or digital or whatever.   When you have unlimited service, it usually doesn't include unlimited data transfer so would not be feasible for downloading consistently.  


Just not a good idea any way you look at it, especially if this is your primary source of obtaining work. 


But I didn't think wireless was secure?
Just a long cable to my modem strung through the kitchen window.  LOL  Hubby wants to put a phone jack outside for me, but this is fine.
I have a secure wireless router and
broadband service.  I use wav files so I'm not connected to a phone line.   being wireless, you're going to still be restricted to the signal strength anywhere you go kind of like using a cell phone but if you have a broadband connection on that mountain top with a wireless router connected to it, then your signal is coming from the router and not a tower that will have interference from trees, mountains etc.
Satellite isn't secure I think is the main

reason companies don't allow it and another is because the download speed is not consistent.  It can be as slow as dial-up at times.  There are also a lot of factors that can knock out your service, at least temporarily.   I had satellite for a year and overall it was okay, but if it snowed or rain hard I either had decreased signal or no signal, if the wind blew hard I might get tree limbs in the way of the signal or the signal was so sporadic that I couldn't download.  


 


You can secure wireless networks,
Making it necessary to put in a password to access it. That'll take care of the moochers!
Are you talking about a Secure Certificate?
I'm not sure if that is the same thing as an e-signature? Perhaps you mean encryption. I'm not sure why you would need to supply a secure certificate to send files to a client; encryption 128-bit encryption should be find; 256-bit even better.
Secure documentation transfer

Hi, I'm a medical transcriptionist/medical information technologist of a small MTSO called ScriptExcellence. I use "ScriptWave" for my workflow management/secure data transmission between the clients and myself and my subcontracted transcriptionists. The program was designed by my program developer brother, and my service has used it for two years with great success and low cost. If you'd like more information, check out the site at www.scriptwave.net. Best wishes to you!


secure documentation transfer

Congrats on getting the docs to move to digital! I'm a medical transcriptionist/medical information technologist of a small MTSO called ScriptExcellence.

VPN or secure file transfer
Are all VPN's secure? If not, which ones are? I need to purchase one soon.
Secure file transfer......(sm)
I've heard of several people using FilePhile for secure file transfers, although I have no personal experience with it. It's supposed to be free, easy, and HIPAA compliant.

http://www.filephile.net/index.php
Satellite is not secure so there may be concern for HIPAA
violation.  Also satellite downloads are not dependable, sometimes they can be just as slow as dial-up, depends on the weather and how many others are on the server.  
The gov. doesn't care one jot about secure records!
.
Use a secure method of transferring files.

Encrypted email for delivery of completed documents works, but voice files may be too large for that method. A secure FTP site, either your own or through a commerical provider such as mydoconline.com or ftptogo.com, would work for both documents and voice files. You may need an FTP program, but there are lots of free ones out there, like filezilla.com, which is what I use.


secure documentation transfer without an MTSO

Hi, I'm a medical transcriptionist/medical information technologist of a small MTSO called ScriptExcellence. I use "ScriptWave" for my workflow management/secure data transmission between the clients and myself and my subcontracted transcriptionists. The program was designed by my program developer brother, and my service has used it for two years with great success and low cost. It would be an easy way for you to securely transfer audio files/transcribed reports without using an MTSO. If you'd like more information, check out the site at www.scriptwave.net. Best wishes to you!


Need to set up FTP - Secure site recommendations / cost ??
I need to use a secure FTP to transfer medical files.  Is anyone using a particular FTP that they like.  What is cost associated with this.  Any info appreciated.  Thanks.
Not a problem if working on secure server
My company uploads/downloads work from a secure server, not an open Internet connection (as in web browser). Work does not travel over Internet, but directly from me to server to client and vice versa. Records are not kept on my computer, but the server. If that is the case with your setup, I'd think it would not matter if you are typing in New York or Timbuktu.
Yes, Yes! Sue the OWNER of the plastic pool because they did not secure it properly. Now it was a
deadly object due to THEIR negligence! Just think of the $$$. 
Trusting the other side was his biggest mistake. He should have kept himself secure.

I use Filezilla FTP software to send via secure FTP site.

There are lots of free FTP programs available.


It has nothing to do with sites..
Check with your ISP, modem or phone line.
