Because HTTP has difficulties transferring large data files, FTP was adopted. Although it allows for fast file transfer of large amounts of data, it does not encrypt user information leaving it vulnerable to hackers who can use the user information to gain access. To help overcome this shortcoming, FTP was combined with new protocols such as SSL and SSH file transfer. While this solved the security issues, it added to the problem of multiple protocols that had to be handled by systems.
File transfer between two computers
File transfer between two computers is the basic foundation of the Internet. As the Internet, and our dependence on it, has grown the size and amount of files in the average transfer has skyrocketed. Additionally, the need for security has become more and more important as information theft has increased. Basic Internet protocol (HTTP) is ill suited for large data transfers so another system, known as FTP, was developed but it has security issues. Now, companies need secure methods for not only a large file transfer between two computers but also two hundred or more machines. Secure Network Gateway is the managed file transfer solution that allows not only fast file transfer in a network, but handles multiple protocols and allows automated transfers to be arranged as well.
