When transferring a large number of files, enterprises often encounter the problem of FTP lag, which cannot be solved perfectly despite taking multiple methods, especially when it comes to cross-border data transfer. For urgent projects, file data that cannot be synchronized in time may result in tasks not being completed on time. In terms of transfer speeds, it is even possible to get a few kilobits per second. This article will analyze the reasons for FTP transfer of a large number of files and introduce an in-depth analysis of the alternatives for cross-border data transfer.
FTP is a TCP-based file transfer protocol that uses two connections for file transfer: the control connection is used to send commands and receive responses, and the data connection is used to transfer file data. The main reasons why FTP may get stuck when transferring a large number of files include:
1. Insufficient network bandwidth
When network bandwidth is occupied by multiple users or applications, FTP transfer speeds are affected, resulting in slower or interrupted file transfers.
2. FTP server or client program problems
The FTP server or client program may have problems such as misconfiguration, outdated version, or low performance, which affect the stability and reliability of FTP, resulting in file transfer failures or errors.
3. File size and quantity
When transferring large or large files, FTP becomes less efficient, increasing network congestion, latency, and server processing burden, while increasing the risk of transmission interruption or loss.
4. Network latency and packet loss
FTP transfers need to go over a network, and any network issues can cause file transfers to slow or fail, especially in cross-border or cross-region network connections.
From the above analysis, it can be seen that cross-border data transfer refers to the process of transferring data from one country or region to another. To achieve the ideal transmission state of an enterprise, data security, efficiency, and the ability to adapt to the network environment of different countries or regions need to be considered at the same time.
In terms of security,It is necessary to protect the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data, and to prevent data from being tampered with, leaked, destroyed, lost, transferred, or illegally obtained or used during or after transmission.
In terms of efficiency,There is a need to increase the speed and efficiency of data transmission and reduce transmission time and cost. At the same time, cross-border data transmission also needs to adapt to the network environment of different countries or regions to overcome the impact of network bandwidth, latency, packet loss and other factors on data transmission.
Therefore, cross-border data transfer is not suitable for long-distance transmission using FTP. There are many multinational transport platforms on the market that offer a variety of benefits to ensure efficiency, security, and ease of use for businesses.
At radium speed(The privatization deployment solution can also be connected to the public cloud, and enterprise and social organization users can apply for a free trial).For example, it is a patented software product designed for enterprise-level cross-border big data transmission and application fields. Through the built-in ultra-high-speed transmission protocol, intelligent compression and other technologies, the transmission speed is increased to 100 times that of FTP. In terms of security and stability, through mechanisms such as resumable transmission, error retransmission, multiple file verification, intelligent synchronization, online banking-level AES-256 encryption technology, SSL encrypted transmission, and support for national cryptography standards, it ensures that data transmission obtains effective security and stability in the event of network failure or abnormal transmission, and at the same time shortens the transmission time and reduces the workload.
Raysync supports common operating systems, provides special SDK integration products, and quickly integrates and deploys with existing systems of enterprises, easily builds a high-speed transmission network environment between multinational enterprises, and realizes the automatic file transfer network of heterogeneous systems.
Summary: FTP as a commonly used file transfer protocol has some drawbacks and limitations, and is not suitable for cross-border data transfer. Cross-border data transfer needs to consider various needs and challenges such as data security, efficiency and flexibility, and it is important to choose the right methods and tools for data transfer. Raysync is a trustworthy cross-border data transmission solution through self-developed ultra-high-speed transmission protocol and a variety of technical optimization, which realizes the efficient, stable, safe and easy-to-use data transmission of cross-border large files and massive small files.
