File Transfer Protocol provides a simple way for users to send files and information ad hoc from one location to another. FTP provides a medium for establishing communication between computers for file transfer. Although it is still a widely used and well-known file transfer method, people have many misconceptions about FTP. The following are some of the most common misconceptions: Misconception 1: FTP encrypts data as it’s transferred. FTP doesn't encrypted the data in the process of transferring. When FTP is used, all transmissions are transmitted in clear text, which means that if the transmission is intercepted, the data can be easily obtained. Data leakage occurs when users send sensitive data through unsafe sites or anonymous FTP sites. Using FTP to transfer business data means sacrificing data security. In addition, enterprises or organizations install FTP servers for some reason, but they usually forget the existence of FTP, do not update it, and have little supervision over the data stored on it. Misconception 2: All that matters is getting data from point A to point B. In addition to ensuring that files go from one location to another, you need to work hard to prove compliance with data protection regulations. FTP is developed only for transferring files, and does not provide any functions to support security and compliance requirements. If you have any sensitive or regulated data to transmit, choosing FTP will expose these important data to danger. Misconception 3: Homegrown FTP is good enough If you use the local FTP system, you may encounter problems and face many risks. Data silos may pose various challenges to employees who need timely access to data to make data-driven business decisions. You may also find that you spend more time logging in to various systems and platforms, troubleshooting or performing other related maintenance tasks. Using distributed file transfer systems also makes it more difficult to manage compliance. IT is time-consuming and error-prone to audit various applications and systems without a comprehensive understanding of IT systems. From FTP to MFT Managed file transfer technologies provide multi-layered security and compliance supporting capabilities, far beyond the more basic file transfer mechanisms like FTP. MFT technology’s features include in-depth reporting , global visibility into your data at all times, end-to-end security with encryption of data in transit and at rest, performance metrics/monitoring to meet stringent SLAs and compliance mandates, and the automation of file transfer-related processes. If you are looking for a stable and secure file transfer software, Raysync is definitely your best choice!

In the era of information explosion, enterprises are more dependent than ever on obtaining, distributing and utilizing all kinds of information to promote their development. At the same time, if you want to gain and maintain the position of industry leader, enterprises must have ways to make full use of available data. Achieving the above goals is a complicated process, and one of the most critical components is to ensure the secure file sharing among employees in the enterprise. If employees can't share information conveniently, quickly and safely, the data will probably lose its greatest value, thus damaging the overall competitiveness of enterprises. With this in mind, Raysync Transmission, as an enterprise-level file transfer expert, shares three skills for enterprises to realize secure file sharing. 1. Select High-quality Software Tools To ensure effective and secure file sharing, enterprises must choose high-quality file transfer tools to ensure the integrity and security of data. But what complicates this option is how to pick out the safe and effective file sharing tools in the market. What should enterprises focus on when evaluating file sharing solutions? In addition to the need to protect corporate data from network attacks such as malware and viruses, these solutions must also be easy for employees to use. This is often overlooked by enterprises. Many enterprises choose high-quality file sharing solutions that cost a lot of money, but it is difficult for employees to use or take more time, so employees will inevitably tend to use simple file sharing tools that make their work easier. Although these third-party software has low security or has not passed security inspection at all. Only by giving priority to the user experience can enterprises find a secure file sharing solution, which really provides advanced data protection and is efficient, convenient, reliable, and easy to operate. For example, like Raysync Transmission, both file sharing and file transfer can be quickly controlled and accepted by employees. 2. Create a Security-oriented Culture As mentioned above, employee adoption of secure file sharing tools is essential for guaranteeing that corporate data remains secure. A big part of achieving this goal is creating a security-oriented culture throughout the company. With the passage of time, employees will become laxer and laxer about the content of the rules, and the decline of the compliance with the rules will gradually increase the risk of data leakage. Enterprises need to establish a sense of information security, including data acquisition, transferring, sharing, editing, application, etc., and through stage training, continuously strengthen this sense of security to create a safe information environment. 3. Regular Review Once a secure file sharing solution and related policies are in place, it is critical for firms to actively monitor security and user activities in regard to data protection. Here we can refer to the functional design of Raysync, external chain monitoring, etc., and deeply control the direction of internal file transfer and data management and control, so as to realize safe file sharing. At the same time, the data threats faced by the company also include external cybercriminals, and the continuous development of science and technology also brings system loopholes that are not checked and filled in time under the system upgrade. At present, even the most advanced secure file sharing program may not guarantee the information security of enterprises in a few years. Therefore, enterprises must regularly review solutions to ensure that they meet all security requirements.

With the development of the Internet, it is a very common thing to transfer large and small files in the daily office. If it is a small file, there are many ways to transfer it, and it is also very convenient. However, when some large files, such as confidential documents, large pictures or videos, need to be transferred at high speed, they will encounter some problems, such as the size limitation of the mailbox, the slow transfer speed of the traditional transfer tools, unstable network connection, and data insecurity, etc., all of these cause the transfer of large files becomes a difficult problem.

The primary objective of ISV customer support is to detect a client’s underlying problem and solve it quickly and efficiently. Obviously, time regards control as a hard indicator for evaluating excellent suppliers and is directly linked to customer satisfaction. Similarly, for many independent software vendors, time is both an opportunity and a challenge. When there is a network obstacle and the operation process is slow, the customer wastes precious time. Although it is not necessarily an ISV's technical problem, it will still show dissatisfaction with your software. After discussing with many cooperative enterprises, we found that for ISV, network obstacles often occur in the process of exchanging large data files with customers. If you want to be ranked as the top ten of file transfer software, the most important thing is to exclude the obstacle in file transfer. As the leading brand enterprise in large file transfer, Raysync gives some constructive suggestions on this issue: - Optimize the Transfer Performance The traditional TCP transfer protocol is a connection-oriented, reliable, byte stream-based transport layer communication protocol. The following figure shows the measured data transferred at Raysync Transmission. In the TCP environment, the latency and packet loss of FTP network file transfer are compared. The problem is apparent in the picture above, the increasing of latency and packet loss casue the decrease of the network throughput. Under the international network environment with a latency of 200 milliseconds and a packet loss rate of 10%, the TCP transfer speed is only 50KB-100KB/ sec. This kind of transfer efficiency is very difficult for large file transfer itself, not to mention meeting the demand of large-scale trans-provincial and trans-national long-distance data transfer. ISV optimization of transfer performance is the fundamental to improve transfer efficiency. - Improve the Network Bandwidth Utilization Rate To grasp the meaning of network bandwidth, we should make it clear that the network bandwidth is not equal to the network throughput. The available network bandwidth determines the potential speed of data moving, while network throughput stands for the actual speed of data moving. - Strengthen the Security Protection If it said that the transfer efficiency of large files is the inspection standard of ISV technology, then security prevention and control is the test of software usability. Whether it is an enterprise or an individual, when choosing a software, they will definitely ask about the control measures for "safety", especially for data transfer. The transfer process accounts for a large proportion of the data leakage events in the past decade, and the causes of data leakage are even more difficult to prevent. For more research on large file transfer, it is suggested that you can refer to the actual case analysis of Raysync Transmission in the file transfer industry.

FTP traditionally has been the most common way to exchange files over the internet for years. FTP-FTPS-SFTP seems to be an update of FTP, but is this real? Or as everyone has said, that the progress of new technologies has made FTP obsolete? If you are currently using FTP and looking for an alternative that provides visibility, control, and automation while improving security and manageability – this article takes a deep dive into what FTP is, its attributes and gives you the info you need to consider replacing FTP with a better file transfer solution. File Transfer Protocol is a method of transferring data files from one computer to another over a network. As one of the original programs for accessing the information on the internet, it was developed in 1971 as part of the U.S. Department of Defense’s ARPANET protocols and thus predates both the TCP and Internet Protocol . FTPS and SFTP FTPS and SFTP are two separate protocols used as secure alternatives to traditional FTP. Often mistaken for each other, these are two very distinct protocols with different pros and cons: FTPS  is an extension to the commonly used File Transfer Protocol that adds support for the Transport Layer Security and the Secure Sockets Layer cryptographic protocols. SFTP  is a secure alternative to FTP and is often mistakenly used to specify some kind of Secure FTP, by which people most often mean FTPS. SFTP is a binary protocol in which all commands are packed to binary messages and sent to the server, which replies with binary reply packets. Why Replace FTP? Since FTP is typically used to solve a single problem or meet a specific application requirement, it usually results in multiple discrete deployments with no central management and control — leading to many business challenges for enterprises, which is not visible at the surface. Here are some driving factors for replacing FTP: Security There are a number of risks associated with using native FTP such as having FTP port open in firewalls and a lack of encryption. Exchanging information without the necessary security features could lead organizations to face massive fines in the event of a breach or a public relations disaster. Lack of Visibility When sending files via FTP, the sender has no way to verify whether the recipient received or downloaded the file or not. Also, since FTP doesn’t maintain an audit trail of system actions such as who downloaded or transferred files, organizations don’t have detailed proof of user actions. Storage Overhead FTP doesn't allow sender to automatically expire or delete files. The file will be deleted until the IT administrator delete it, consuming significant storage space and incurring unnecessary costs. Cumbersome Workflow It is difficult and complexed to manage FTP, if you want to send the file to a new contact, you need to set a new FTP account. Because the users have no right to access the FTP server, thus they need to repy on the help of the IT administrator to create the new accounts, retrieve forgotten passwords and remove accounts for those who no longer require access. Alternative to FTP As the enterprise-level file transfer expert, Raysync replaces the FTP server via the secure file sharing platform, and builds the ultra-high-speed transfer engine to realize all internal and external file transfer management of the enterprise and fast and safe file distribution worldwide.
