FTP Server

Exchanging and managing files easily and securely without generating hefty expenses is an increasing need for businesses in today’s collaborative world. Many companies utilize FTP sites to share the large files that email can’t handle and to go beyond the walls of their internal systems. Thus, they bring in their IT teams to enable FTP servers and setup account access for everyone. With the advent of cloud computing however, there is a much more efficient, reliable, and secure means for transferring data.

While the FTP method provides a way around file size limits and the internal confines of other traditional data transfer systems, it doesn’t cater to equally important needs like simplicity of use, timeliness and reliability of delivery, or security and confidentiality of content.

In addition, deploying and maintaining FTP servers creates a lot of extra work for a company’s IT staff and distracts them from their regular jobs. Their support is needed for setup and basic operation, and the applications are too complicated for the non-technical users. Frequent FTP site traffic jams and slow downloads also tend to be time-absorbers for everyone on the system.

The Challenges with FTP Sites

• Costly to operate and overly complex for non-technical users – IT staff support required for account setup, standard tasks, and frequent maintenance
• Firewall policies/IT network restrictions, delivery failure issues, and slow downloads
• Confidentiality risks and poor security
