In the age of data, large file transmission within the enterprise is always a necessity. Because of the simplicity, ease of use, and wide support of the FTP protocol, it was commonly used by many enterprises in the early days. With the increase in the number of large file transfers, and the increasing demand for security, FTP has also been exposed to a number of problems. This article will analyze the causes of slow FTP transfer and the common ways for enterprises to solve this problem. FTP currently some of the shortcomings and problems Slow transmission speed: FTP protocol uses the TCP protocol as the transport layer. TCP protocol in order to ensure the reliable transmission of data, the use of three handshakes, sliding window, congestion control, retransmission mechanism and other technologies. Although these techniques can ensure the integrity of the data, it also increases the transmission delay and overhead, reducing the efficiency of transmission. Especially in cross-country, cross-region, high-latency, high packet loss network environments, the transmission speed of the FTP protocol will be significantly reduced, and even transmission failure. Insufficient security: In the transmission process, FTP protocol data is transmitted in plaintext without any encryption or authentication, which gives hackers or intermediaries an opportunity to attack. They can easily steal, tamper with or delete the transmitted data, causing data leakage or damage. Complicated management: FTP protocol does not provide convenient file management and transmission monitoring functions, users can not classify, search, synchronize and other operations on the transferred files, nor can they view and analyze the status, progress, logs and other real-time transmission, which brings inconvenience and trouble to users. Possible reasons for slow FTP file transfer speed and security problems The root cause of the FTP file transfer speed and security problems is that the FTP protocol is flawed in its design and fails to adapt to the modern network environment and the growth of user needs, thus failing to meet the big file transfer requirements of the big data era. The main problems include: Server Configuration: FTP server hardware, software, network configuration and other impact on file transfer speed and security, unreasonable or non-optimized configuration will lead to bottlenecks and hidden dangers. Network bandwidth: There is the use of TCP, and TCP's congestion control mechanism in the high latency, high packet loss network environment leads to a decline in the transmission rate, and can not fully utilize the bandwidth. Transport Protocol: FTP uses TCP which brings problems including three times handshake, sliding window, congestion control, etc., increasing latency and overhead. At the same time, plaintext transmission is vulnerable to hacker or man-in-the-middle attacks. Encryption: FTP is not encrypted in transit, risking data leakage or corruption. Even if SSL/TLS encryption technology is used, it increases latency and overhead, and there are security vulnerabilities. User authentication: FTP user authentication is simple, and it is not possible to realize the access control of different files for different users or user groups, which increases the security risk of data. Even if SSL/TLS is used, it is difficult to realize two-way authentication and there are security vulnerabilities.   Effective Methods to Solve FTP File Transfer Slowdown and Security Problems Optimize server hardware, software, and network configuration to improve large file transmission efficiency and security. Enhance server resources, update system and service software, and optimize network topology. Enhance network quality and use technologies such as dedicated lines, VPN, and CDN. Select appropriate transmission protocols, such as UDP instead of TCP or HTTP instead of FTP. introduce strong encryption algorithms, such as AES, RSA, SHA, to ensure data security. Implement strict user management with authentication and privilege control to prevent unauthorized access. These measures work together to build an efficient and secure file transfer environment. Of course, if enterprises need a one-stop solution for large file transfer, they can consider using Raysync. Raysync is an efficient, safe, and convenient file transfer software, which can solve the problem of slow FTP file transfer speed and security issues, with the following advantages: Fast transfer speed: Raysync uses the self-developed Raysync protocol.

The latest research report shows that by 2027, the whole big data security market will grow to 64.4 billion US dollars. Some reports point out that global data is exploding, and more than half of the data are created by enterprises. Proper application of data can help companies to make wiser judgments, but at the same time, there are huge hidden dangers in transmission, security, and storage. The amount of data is increasing, and it is scattered in different regions, different equipment, and different employees. The existence of data islands is not conducive to the flexible use of data. It is necessary to break the shackles of data, make data flow at high speed, and create value. File transfer software supports centralized storage of enterprise data on the cloud, and enterprise administrators can uniformly allocate data resources. The data transmission speed of file transmission software is very fast, which is 100 times faster than that of traditional transmission tools . With the rapid development of data movement technology, it's never been so easier to transfer large files over a long distance regardless of the network conditions. File transfer software provides strong power for the development of enterprises. Enterprises distribute important resource information through file transfer software, and the problem of file transfer security has attracted much attention. Safe transmission mechanisms, standardized operation rules, and high transparency are important indicators to ensure the safety of data transmission. Raysync, this high speed large file transfer software adopts financial AES-256 encryption transmission to ensure data security; Administrators can assign permissions to sub-accounts, so that the corresponding people can enjoy the corresponding permissions, without crossing the border and being safer; The whole process logs the operation behavior, and the data can be checked and controlled. Finally, the world is changing rapidly, so enterprises should have the ability to cope with changes at any time, accurately control data, use data to make the most correct choices and embrace new changes in the tide of digital change.

Data is an advanced commodity, which makes it extremely important to manage data. Without proper tools and strategies, your data may not be as secure as you think. - Use the firewall to protect the company's network security. - Ask your employees to change their passwords every 90 days. - Ensure that the security settings of the company equipment are strengthened. - Implement an annual safety briefing, covering the importance of strong passwords and the importance of locking the keyboard when leaving the desk. The reality is that even if the above security measures are strictly followed, it is still far from enough. If we want to better protect data and establish a stronger security state for the organization, we need multi-layer defense, including regular security training for all employees and updating security policies. Your data may be destroyed by the following practices: 1. Adopt traditional FTP FTP is a common file transfer method. Because of its ease of use, accessibility, and low cost, it is usually the preferred protocol for enterprises or organizations. However, FTP transfer of files cannot guarantee the security of data. Using FTP, users transmit data in clear text through the network, and the exposure risk of data files is high, so anyone can easily access your data. 2. Outdated system and software Software and system updates are released because security vulnerabilities have been found in their code, Java or OpenSSL, and software patches are needed. It is necessary to update the system and software in time to keep your certificate up to date. 3. Opaque network information Monitoring is a key step in controlling the network. If you have multiple systems to manage, it is easier to clearly understand what is happening if you monitor all the data in one place. 4. Unmanaged internet access The explosive development of the Internet has penetrated through the door of enterprises. Apart from the safe working laptops approved by the company, there are also unsafe personal computers, mobile devices, and many other devices. They are connected to your network 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This uninterrupted access makes it more important to isolate users' folders and their access to the network. Controlling user access will help you distinguish them from important data so that authorized personnel and devices can access it. 5. Failure to provide employees with easy-to-use and suitable tools As employees, there is only one ultimate goal, that is, to finish the work smoothly. Besides, they also want to contribute to the success of the enterprise. When they can't get the tools they need to achieve their goals, they will look for solutions. They download free consumer applications and transmit sensitive data to partners, suppliers, and other external parties through insecure paths. In the short term, it is effective for employees and their daily business objectives, but this approach makes enterprises face various data security vulnerabilities. A reliable MFT solution is a very important defense layer, and MFT platform provides a safe and efficient management system for any organization that must move and protects data to meet business and compliance requirements . Through MFT, you can centrally and globally control the dynamic data of data, and monitor and control all uploading, downloading, and sharing file transfer operations. If you want enterprise data to be transmitted and managed more efficiently and safely, the MFT platform ) is the best solution.

The 21st century is an era of rapid development of data and information. Mobile Internet, Internet of Things, social networks, e-commerce and so on have greatly expanded the boundaries and application scope of the Internet. Various data are expanding rapidly, and the whole society has entered the era of big data. However, big data is a double-edged sword. While the country and enterprises vigorously promote the innovative application and benefit of big data, criminals and the "black industry chain" are also stealing and selling information wantonly on the road of data transfer. "Streaking" of Core Information in Big Data Environment Data and information contain the great value, and criminals are pervasive, collecting and selling all kinds of data and information, which leads to the disclosure of personal privacy, enterprise core data, and even state secrets on the Internet. As the basis of data interaction, data transfer and file transfer are the hardest-hit areas of data leakage. Common data transfer risk sources are as follows: 1. The safety risk coefficient of the big data transfer process is high; 2. The management of enterprise data transfer is not strict; 3. The encryption link is too weak; 4. The file transfer tool used is unsafe.

In the first half of 2022 enterprises are facing a "great shock" in the global layout, and international trade, cross-border investment, and population mobility have all experienced an unprecedented sudden drop trend. In the complex domestic and international environment, the offline business operation of enterprises is blocked, the online business is surging, and the problem of slow cross-border file transfer is exposed again. Three major problems, such as the rapid increase of data volume, inefficient transfer of large files, and unstable cross-border transfer, are forcing modern enterprises to enhance their digital operation capability. In dealing with the problem of cross-border file transfer, the key point is that due to the influence of network physical conditions, traditional FTP, mail, and instant messaging tools will have high latency, high packet loss rate, and insecure data transfer stability and file transfer quality. If modern enterprises want to make a global layout, they must face the problem of the cross-border file transfer. In view of the above problems, we analyze the solution of cross-border file transfer with Raysync. The obstacles of the cross-border file transfer: 1. Speed Due to the influence of network physical conditions, the high latency and high packet loss rate of transnational WAN seriously affect the stability of data transfer. Especially in the face of increasing data volume, it aggravates the slow transfer speed and low transfer efficiency caused by network congestion, latency, and packet loss, but ordinary enterprises often do not have this technical solution ability. 2. Security There are certain security risks in cross-border file transfer tools and transfer processes. For example, FTP, a free file transfer tool, in not encrypted, and FTP script and batch files keep user ID and password publicly, which is vulnerable to hacker attacks. In the process of transfer, the hard disk transfer is at risk of damage and loss, while the non-compliant file transfer software has an unsafe connection, so it is easy to leak and steal the transmitted data in the process of data transfer. 3. Cost In order to obtain professional technical support and high-quality and reliable service, some large enterprises will choose international special lines provided by telecom operators or secondary operators. However, this method is not only long in the application period, but also extremely expensive, which is unbearable for SMEs. More importantly, international private lines also have congestion problems during international time, and their transfer performance will still be greatly affected by high concurrency. If you want to make a global layout, how can modern enterprises solve the problem of GB or even TB file data and provide it to overseas customers and global branches efficiently and stably? How can improve file sharing efficiency? 1. Solve the technical problems from the root Transport layer protocols TCP and UDP, UDP has a great advantage in speed. Based on UDP transfer performance, Raysync high-speed transfer protocol independently developed by Raysync breaks through the defects of traditional FTP and HTTP transfer, and the transfer rate is increased by 100X and the bandwidth utilization rate is increased to 96%. Intelligently accelerate the transfer in the whole process, avoid the high packet loss rate caused by network latency, greatly accelerate the efficiency of file outgoing, and the multi-dimensional transfer mode meets the extremely fast transfer requirements of TB-level large files and massive small files. 2. Bank standard encryption protection Raysync is based on SSL encryption transfer protocol, adopts AES-256 encryption technology of international top financial level, and has built-in CVE vulnerability scanning, which adds multiple defense walls for data information, effectively resists external attacks, ensures the privacy of the transfer process, and ensures the integrity and safety of file data transfer. 3. The file verification mechanism is stable Breakpoint resume and automatic retransmission mechanism are adopted in the whole process, and multiple file verification mechanisms are built in to ensure the integrity and accuracy of transfer results and ensure stable and reliable transfer efficiency in ultra-remote and weak network environment. 4. Clarify the demand control costs Only when the capital investment is directly proportional to the functional requirements can the input cost be maximized. For the file transfer requirements such as single large file transfer, transnational file transfer, massive small file transfer, P2P accelerated transfer, object storage solution, or the functional requirements such as file accelerated transfer, file outgoing, file management, etc., a set of mature solutions for Raysync has three matching schemes. For enterprises and teams, it is an effective way to control costs. In response to the upstream and downstream integration of business and accelerating the globalization of enterprises, the high-speed large file transfer solution provided by Raysync can drive the high-speed transfer of global data and enable enterprises to respond quickly in the fierce industry competition.
