An FTP site is a server that enables you to upload and download files through the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). Many people use FTP sites to move large files or numerous files from one computer system to another across a network.
The file transfer software options available today aren't all created equal. Evaluating solutions based on your organization's needs goes beyond splitting hairs over technical features. The best file transfer solution must significantly enhance your organization’s security and operational efficiency. That’s because when you choose a file transfer provider, you choose who your organization will trust with your most valuable asset: data. As the digital landscape advances, so does the need for seamless automation, rapid data exchange and uncompromising security.

For the past few decades, many organizations have used the secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) as their main file transfer solution. It’s more secure and less prone to connectivity issues than the archaic file transfer protocol (FTP). However, it’s becoming increasingly clear that SFTP is also starting to age and hit limitations. Companies struggle to meet today’s business needs and use cases with purely SFTP-based solutions.

What is AS2 protocol? AS2 or Applicability Statement 2 is a file transfer protocol that’s commonly used in business-to-business (B2B) data transfers. It’s based on the S/MIME and HTTP/S protocols. While you can theoretically use AS2 to transfer almost any type of file, it’s normally associated with electronic data interchange (EDI).

When you first start scouting for the right file transfer protocol for your organization, you’re bound to encounter these two acronyms: SFTP and MFT. SFTP stands for SSH File Transfer Protocol, whereas MFT stands for Managed File Transfer. While SFTP is indeed a protocol, MFT isn’t. Nevertheless, these two acronyms become increasingly intertwined once you explore advanced, secure, automated file transfer solutions.

Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) and GNU Privacy Guard (GPG) are two cryptographic software tools that enable data encryption, authentication, and integrity. These tools primarily secure email communications and transfer files. In the case of the latter, PGP and GPG can be particularly useful in providing data-in-motion security for unencrypted file transfer protocols like FTP and HTTP. They also provide data-at-rest encryption for files stored in a file transfer server.
