Case Study: Positive Images achieves secure, streamlined large-file transfers with Progress WS_FTP Server

Positive Images UK Calls WS_FTP® “Perfect Solution” for Transferring Digital Files Securely

Positive Images UK, a Mitcham-based full-service print house established in 1989, needed a more secure, reliable way to transfer large design and data files to specialist suppliers and clients. Their previous web-based service (YouSendIt) lacked the security and control required for sensitive InDesign, Photoshop, Access and Excel files, forcing staff to burn disks and courier jobs—an expensive, inefficient workaround as the company expanded into digital print and mobile marketing.

They deployed Ipswitch WS_FTP Server to provide encrypted, auditable transfers and customer upload accounts, using SSL/FTPS and SSH/SFTP with 256‑bit AES and integrity checks. The move eliminated couriering and multiple FTP credentials, automated notifications and logging, saved time and cost, and delivered the security and scalability Positive Images needed to protect client work and maintain a competitive edge.
