What cipher suites are used with Dreamweaver's SFTP connection. I'm trying to verify it is FIPS 140-2 compliant.

Hi,

For now Dw18 is not FIPS compliant, we are still working on it. Watch this thread for more updates.

Short Answer: No idea!

Long Answer: Dreamweaver's  Secure FTP (SFTP) uses FTP over SSL/TLS (implicit encryption). With these methods, Dreamweaver not only encrypts its data transfers with the server, but also exchanges security credentials with the servers. These credentials are in the form of digitally signed server certificates, guaranteed by certificate authorities such as VeriSign and Thawte. The explicit encryption method allows both secure and insecure clients to use the server, but implements security if the client requests it. The implicit encryption method allows only secure clients to use the server.
