FTP Encryption Feature of the Commander One
Commander One is much more than a user-friendly file manager and an intuitive FTP client for Mac. It allows you to encrypt your file transfers between your Mac and cloud storages such as Google Drive and Amazon S3. Owing to this FTP encryption feature, you can safely transfer all your files as they will be fully encrypted.
It uses the AES-256 encryption to make sure you get the best level of security. The protection doesn’t stop once your data has been uploaded, though. Even while they’re on the remote server they’ve been uploaded to, your files remain safe from the prying eyes of unauthorized third-parties.

- Cloud storages (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and more)

How to Encrypt a Directory in Commander One
Here are step-by-step instructions on how you can encrypt your directories or folders with the help of Commander One:
1
Assuming you have already downloaded Commander One on your Mac, launch the software and go to the folder you want to encrypt.
2
Control-click on the folder and select Encrypt. Note: You can’t encrypt files, only folders and directories.
3
Now enter the password you want the encrypted folder to have. Write it down somewhere safe because you won’t be able to recover it if you forget it since Commander One doesn’t store passwords. Tip: You can enter a helpful password hint while encrypting a folder.
4
You can mask the folder once you’ve encrypted it by Control-clicking on it and selecting Lock. To unmask it, simply click on Unlock.
5
If you want to remove the encryption from the folder, Control-click on it and choose Decrypt. You’ll be asked to enter the password you created while encrypting the folder.
