FTP is designed as a simple mechanism, which can exchange files between computers when the new network and information security are not yet mature. In the 1970s, if you wanted to protect your server from unnecessary access, you just had to lock the computer room door. User access to data is controlled by the basic user ID and password scheme. At this time, the Internet does not exist yet, and the PC revolution will take ten years.
Nowadays, the security of business file transfer has become the focus of enterprise protection, especially in computing systems, and file transfer between enterprises and even in cross-border transfer has become crucial for the development of global economy.
However, the original native FTP function of TCP/IP is not designed for the file transfer requirements of modern enterprises connecting the whole world. At the same time, due to the progress of network detection technology, the proliferation of hackers, malicious software, and millions of network users, the basic security mechanism of FTP has long been unable to prevent.
Risks associated with file transfer using FTP:
1. The native FTP does not encrypt data;
2. When logging in, the user name and password are transmitted in clear text and are easy to identify;
3. FTP scripts and batch files save user ID and password publicly, which is vulnerable to hacker attacks;
4. FTP is used alone, it does not meet the compliance requirements;
5. When using FTP connection, the transmitted data may be "copied" to the remote computer, and may not even reach the intended destination. This possibility will expose your data to third parties and hackers;
6. Regular FTP itself does not maintain file transfer records.
Isn't it time you replaced your FTP server?
It's time to make a change. First, check how FTP is applied in the enterprise. Secondly, determine how your enterprise manages and protects everyone's file transfer. Finally, determine whether your enterprise can use a secure file transfer solution software Raysync can provide you with a reference for purchase), and then evaluate the software to see how it meets your business needs.

The amount of data is growing explosively. Not only that, but the capacity of a single file is also increasing. These documents, audio, video, drawings, and other materials may be the carriers of important business data for enterprises, especially for film and television production, life science research. For data-intensive industries such as production and manufacturing, the high-speed and secure transfer and management of data is of paramount importance.
Usually, we use email, GoogleDrive, FTP to transfer, but when the file is large, reaching the GB level, the file transfer of the above scheme becomes extremely slow, unreliable, or even inoperable.
File transfer accelerator,Raysync is the first choice, the choice of 2W+ users in 1 year, the network bandwidth utilization rate is increased to 96%.
Raysync file transfer protocol mainly improves the file transfer efficiency through the following two aspects: more effective congestion judgment and processing, and more accurate and timely packet loss judgment recovery mechanism.
Reasons for companies not to change Raysync for several years: Raysync high-speed transfer protocol, network bandwidth utilization rate reaches 96%. Secure TLS+AES-256 encryption algorithm, plus multiple security codes, stable multiple file protection mechanisms for data, smooth global data flow and ease of use Web browser access, 30 seconds installation can use professional pure software acceleration, professional technical team service guidance.

The transfer of large files has always been a headache. Although, in the past few years, the network speed has developed by leaps and bounds. However, when faced with large-scale files that are often hundreds of megabytes, they still lack confidence. As a result, a variety of large file transfer solutions began to emerge. If you are worried about this problem.
Then the following article, I believe it can give you a perfect answer.
1. Cloud Drive
* Convenience: ★★★★
* Transfer Speed: ★★★
One transfer option that is easy to consider is through a cloud drive. One of the features of cloud drives is the ease of operation. By logging into the same cloud drive account on different devices and uploading large files, large file transfers are possible. This method is widely adopted and used by users to store and backup and transfer files. Common cloud drives include OneDrive and Google Drive. But one shortcoming of using cloud drive to transfer files is that there is not a lot of free space in the cloud drive. Most of the users are personal users and if it is for transferring large files, this is not a preferred option.
2. Mobile—Network Hard Disk
* Convenience: ★★★★
* Transfer Speed: ★★★★
In addition to using IM software to transfer directly, network hard drives are also a very good large file transfer solution. In this solution, the sender only needs to upload the file to be transferred to the network hard disk. Then, you can use the obtained file extraction code to notify the other party to receive it. As most network hard disks use the dual-line bandwidth of Telecom Netcom. Therefore, both uploading and downloading can be completed at a very high speed. In this way, not only does the sender and receiver need to be online at the same time, but the transfer speed will not be affected because they are located in different networks.
Among the many network hard drives, Mobile can be regarded as the most representative one. In addition to the two-line upload of China Telecom and Netcom, it also provides 160 MB of free online disk space for each free user. On the homepage of Mobile, we only need to enter our account name and password, log in to the website, and then click the "Upload File" link in the upper right corner to enter the upload page.
On this page, you only need to follow the on-screen instructions and first select the destination storage location and the file storage path. Then according to the transfer type, choose one of the "normal upload", "ActiveX resumable upload" and "Java resumable upload" to start the upload.
After all uploading work is completed. We can click the "My Documents" → "Summary" tab to view the files on the network disk. In Mobile, there are two download programs for the other party to choose from. One is to use the "shared extraction code" corresponding to the file, and the recipient can directly go to the Mobile homepage and extract it by themselves . The second is to create a shared folder by the sender and transfer the uploaded files to the folder. The receiver will download it through the sender's domain name webpage. Both have a high degree of freedom of operation.
Besides, QQ mailbox and Foxmail also provide similar network disk functions with a larger capacity.
3. MailMagic—Mailbox Space
* Convenience: ★★★
* Transfer Speed: ★★★★
Although, Mobile is very powerful. However, limited storage space often fails to meet our needs. Is it necessary to spend real money to get more space? In fact, with the help of a small software called MailMagic, we can transform the free mailboxes everywhere into huge network hard drives. Moreover, this software is very similar to the familiar Flashget in the interface, so it shouldn't be a problem to get started.
Set up email
If you want to turn a free mailbox into a network hard drive, you must first register the mailbox information in MailMagic. If you start MailMagic for the first time, this step will be very simple. Because the configuration wizard will automatically pop up. And we just need to fill in the relevant parameters according to the screen prompts.
Upload files
Next, in the main interface of MailMagic, click the "Upload" button. Create an upload task through the pop-up upload dialog box. Finally, click the "Confirm" button and the upload operation will begin immediately.For non-registered software, you can only upload files less than 30MB at a time.
Download the file
Finally, when all upload tasks are completed, we can right-click the uploaded file in the main interface of MailMagic to generate a "shared download code" or "shared downloader". Then, send it to the other party by mail or IM for download. With these, even if the other party does not know our mailbox password, they can quickly download these uploaded files.
Compared with "shared download code", MailMagic's "shared downloader" is more practical. Except for the sender, free setting of various parameters. The recipient also only needs to double-click the file to start the download immediately. This is undoubtedly much more convenient than the traditional "shared download code" method.

![[2022 Updated] How to Choose Large File Transfer Solution?](http://images.ctfassets.net/bg6mjhdcqk2h/7wBEpHEs3eZnKaHhIdQ8i8/6c8b78d73161d86b8e4e75924f0b651f/how-to-choose-large-file-transfer.jpg)
On the surface, "file transfer" sounds simple. Maybe you transfer the file as an email attachment or make it available to others in your organization through a data synchronization application .
But what about really large files you might have to transfer? What if I have to send large media files? Or, what if your business model relies on transferring multi-gigabit data sets from one server to another?
How to Choose Big Large File Solution?
With conventional solutions, it can take an entire afternoon to transfer large files. To speed up the process, you should choose a file transfer method that is "suitable" for the type of file you want to transfer. This is a quick start on how to transfer large files faster by choosing the right solution for a specific file.
1. Evaluate the file transfer method
What is the best way to move large files from location A to location B?
There are obvious methods-email attachments or data synchronization applications-and more business-friendly options, such as FTP or hosted file transfer solutions.
E-mail and cloud services are undoubtedly ubiquitous, but they have their advantages and disadvantages:
• E-mail is universal and easy to use, but the transmission speed may depend on factors beyond the control of a single user. Moreover, even if your email client can handle large attachments, you may not know whether the recipient's client can handle the same file until it is too late.
• Data synchronization applications are almost free, or even free, but they usually lack the security features needed to transmit business data. Although they may seem relatively fast, the transfer speed you get can compromise overall data security.
Due to security flaws in email and data synchronization services, many organizations have used FTP as an alternative file transfer solution. However, in addition to being only slightly more secure than email and data synchronization, the inability of FTP to maximize the available bandwidth can still mean that the transfer of the largest file will be very slow.
When file transfer needs to make full use of network bandwidth, managed file transfer is usually the best solution. MFT provides faster delivery times, and a gigabit file transfer usually means a slow and cumbersome process can provide a competitive advantage.
2. Compressor "shrink" files
Once you have determined the file transfer method that meets your needs, it is important to keep the file as small as possible before performing the transfer. Yes, it is usually possible to reduce the file size without losing data, even for the largest files.
A common method of "shrinking" files is to compress files, usually using third-party applications or using compression features inherent in the operating system. Compressed files will create an archive, usually with a .zip extension, and take up less hard disk space than the original file.
If you want to send multiple files, you can compress them all into one .zip file for faster and easier transfer. Moreover, if you want to transfer files at the folder level , you only need to delete unnecessary folder items that the recipient does not need to increase the transfer speed.
Whether you are using email, data synchronization, or FTP, reducing file size can increase transfer speed-almost always helps! Modern MFT solutions will automatically compress the files, so you don't need to perform the .zip conversion yourself, and you don't have to worry about third-party applications.
3. Use the solution of your choice to transfer files
Find out which file transfer solution can meet your needs? Minimize the file size as much as possible? Then you can perform the transfer.
Ultimately, choosing the most appropriate file transfer method is usually the most effective way to maximize speed. And, if you can find a way to reduce the file size before performing the transfer, so much the better. All other things being equal, a not-so-large file is always transferred faster than a really large file.
Of course, speed is only one factor that should be considered when evaluating file transfer solutions. However, when moving data from one place to another is the key to staying competitive, this may be the most important factor.

![[2022] How to Solve Large File Transfer Problem?](http://images.ctfassets.net/bg6mjhdcqk2h/5Sh4LomwQy3w4kPuwpVsXp/6e39126535a196088ec4d130ef6edaed/large-file-transfer-solutions.png)
Large file transfers are often a huge challenge for organizations, especially when data needs to be transferred across long distances and scattered servers in a short period of time. If you do not have the right toolset to try to transfer large files, it means that the massive file transfer process may face risks of data security, high latency, TCP/IP transmission limitations, data transmission failure, data loss, and inefficient use of bandwidth.
With a fast file transfer solution equipped to handle large files, you will not face the lack of SLA and critical deadlines, and you don't have to spend time worrying about when large files will arrive at their destination, just as you need. You are forced to carry or transport a hard copy of the data.
The problems solved by fast file transfer solutions include low bandwidth utilization, excessively long delays causing file transfer bottlenecks, slow, inaccurate and inefficient file transfer processes, large file transfers, long-distance file transfers, including large data set transfers.
When evaluating vendors and fast file transfer solutions, it is important to understand the common data transfer challenges caused by data transfer delays and the help of fast file transfer solutions.
Bandwidth is the amount of data that can be transmitted in a certain period of time. Bandwidth utilization is the amount of bandwidth used compared to the total bandwidth available. Always use all the bandwidth you pay for. Your company has purchased a certain amount of bandwidth from your service provider. How much bandwidth you pay depends on the maximum bandwidth you expect to use. However, only when there are occasional peaks do you actually use all the bandwidth you paid for.
Latency is the time it takes for the file to be transferred across the network. Delay has negative connotations, such as "the delay of the network is slowing down my transmission speed". Latency + bandwidth defines the speed and capacity of the network.
File transfer Protocol/Internet Protocol, the most commonly used protocol for Internet communication, TCP is optimized for accurate delivery rather than timely delivery. Therefore, TCP sometimes causes long delays when waiting for retransmission of out-of-order messages or lost messages. It is not suitable for real-time applications such as VOIP.
The data is divided into several parts and sent as individual "data packets", and then these data packets are recombined at the receiving end. The extra data is added in the form of a "header" that tells the receiving end how to reassemble the data packet and ensure that everything sent is actually received. This will split the file and reassemble the file, sending confirmations back and forth to ensure that there are no errors that will slow down the transmission .
Raysync is a secure and high-speed file transfer solution. Providing a file transfer alternative to existing FTP servers. Raysync allows you to significantly reduce file transfer times and manage file via an easy to use user interface.
