File transfer is the transmission of a computer file through a communication channel from one computer system to another. Typically, file transfer is mediated by a communications protocol. In the history of computing, numerous file transfer protocols have been designed for different contexts. The first file is transferred via a removable media exchange. As early as in the mid-1980s, asynchronous modems took over where the double synchronization stopped. Then, in the 1990s, the Internet changed the use of persistent connections for file transfer of games between enterprises via HTTP, FTP, and SMTP. In the following years, a large number of B2B management large file transfer solutions appeared. These solutions helped enterprises or organizations meet the growing security, compliance, and operational requirements of mobile information. Despite all these changes, business-to-business file transfers are still basically the same as in the 1970s. The transportation channel and protocol mix has changed, but the processes and methods have basically not changed. In 2015, B2B data exchange completely belonged to technical users who executed file-based batches, and the pricing of professional file transfer software solutions reflected this. For example, when two companies want to automate data exchange, the IT departments of both companies need to discuss the data format, transmission protocol, encryption, transmission confirmation, and error/exception handling. Considering that the automatic file transfer software function is not the highest priority of most enterprise IT departments, this can be a long and frustrating process for business users who delay or lose waiting for IT revenue. This process may take several weeks to automate data exchange with a company and must repeat hundreds or even thousands of customers/suppliers over and over again. In view of this, the B2B file transfer software and integration market are very mature. If you’re looking for file transfer software with security, reliability, and efficiency. Raysync could both work for your needs. Raysync provides easy-to-use file transfer systems, including large file transfer, SDK application integration, Proxy acceleration, FTP acceleration, and RaySSH acceleration.

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.

Many people are still using more traditional methods to transfer files, such as mail, FTP, WeChat, etc. These methods make it easier for individuals to transfer small files. However, in enterprise applications, there will be various problems in the process of the transfer due to the excessive number and volume of files. Film, television, meteorology, biology, oil and natural gas, and other industries need to transfer a vast amount of data within the enterprise or between internal and external partners. Traditional methods are difficult to solve the problem of data transfer. Which software is the best to transfer 100GB of large files at maximum speed? This has become a problem that many industries pay close attention to. The most important requirements in large file transfer of enterprises are security and efficiency. High Efficiency, that is, to make the full use of the network bandwidth resources and to quickly send data to the destination; Security means protecting the data from leakage, damage, and breakage during transfer. Instant communication tools usually do not have the function like the breakpoint resume, once the transfer process is interrupted, all the files need to be transferred from the beginning, which greatly wastes time, bandwidth and manpower. Another reason that causing low-speed file transfer is the transfer protocol, based on the TCP protocol, the traditional transfer methods' transfer efficiency is low when packet loss happens during transfer. Besides, because of the openness of the traditional protocol, the data leakage is usually common in the process of the file transfer. A professional file transfer solution has perfectly solved the difficulty faced by file transfer. Those solutions have their own designed transfer protocol, greatly utilize the available network bandwidth, and solve the problem of packet loss. Meanwhile, there is also an encryption mechanism for data transmission to ensure data security. How to transfer the large files of 100GB at maximum speed? The professional transfer software like Raysync adopts the self-developed transfer protocol, fully utilizes the network bandwidth, it could transfer the large file at maximum with minimal packet loss. With the AES-256 security protection, your data will be transferred fast and securely with Raysync Transmission.

On a normal day at work, sending files is probably as common as your morning cup of coffee. A large part of your day may involve exchanging files like reports or designs with clients, employees, and vendors. But if the size of the file is too large, for those traditional file transfer tools like email and file storage applications, it is impossible to transfer it quickly. You would need a solution that can handle large file sizes and not interrupt your routine. The stability of file transfer is fundamentally based on excellent transfer performance. Raysync Transmission is based on UDP transfer performance, breaking through the transfer defects of traditional FTP and HTTP.

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. Some of Raysync's differentiating features include: Easy to Management The deployment process will be troublesome and hard to manage if there are many files to be transferred. Raysync Transmission supports different types of protocol, based on the self-developed transfer engine, Raysync can transfer the large files and the vast amount of small files at maximum speed. It is convenience for organization to manage the whole transfer process from a central control board. Security and Permission Raysync helps organizations remain compliant with strict regulations by providing security features to monitor user actions, regulate access, and secure corporate data. All data in flight and at rest are protected with encryption and antivirus scanning. High-performance Transfer Whether it is the current TB-level big file transfer across borders or massive small file transfer, these are all routine for enterprises nowadays. FTP simply cannot meet the needs of the fast-growing big data era. Raysync Transmission is a high-speed transfer engine based on UDP research and development. Compared with FTP, the transfer speed is 100 times higher, and the bandwidth utilization rate reaches 96%. It can easily cope with the high-speed transfer demand of enterprise-level files.

Raysync Proxy supports seamless integration of various popular softwares such as FTP/Http/ssh/SCP/Rsync, etc. Raysync Transmission can easily replace the old FTP server, quickly complete deployment within 30 minutes, realize high-speed and safe access to collaborative data within and between enterprises in the global position, reduce the high cost of R&D and design, and save the time needed for deploying and monitoring important file transfer. Raysync Proxy Acceleration can be integrated through the standard Proxy protocol. The original application system of the enterprise does not need secondary development. Technical departments do not need to use multiple user names and passwords to establish personal FTP connections. Users only need to know the e-mail address of the recipient to send data at high speed and safely. Raysync Proxy can be run as a process alone, with extremely low resource consumption, CPU consumption of less than 20% at 100Mbps data throughput, and memory consumption of management structure of single connection of less than 30KB.
