The FTP protocol is a set of standard protocols for file transfer on the network, based on TCP transmission, and works at the seventh layer of the OSI model. The FTP protocol consists of two main components: an FTP server and an FTP client. The FTP server is used to store files, and users can use the FTP client to access these resources located on the FTP server through the FTP protocol.
The FTP protocol has been widely used around the world, but with the complexity of enterprise network transmission requirements, the disadvantages of FTP have gradually emerged:
Security Issues:Although FTP supports encrypted transfer mode, by default, files are transmitted in clear text when they are transferred over the network, which can lead to the risk of data leakage; Every year, incidents of stealing enterprise data due to FTP account breaches occur from time to time, and security issues have become the biggest hidden danger of the FTP protocol.
Limited management features:The security problems of the FTP protocol are solved by the FTPS and SFTP protocols, but there are still other problems with the FTP protocol. If the management attack is limited, FTP account opening, authorization, and closure are all complex operations, and FTP does not support network management functions, which require professional IT administrators to set up and maintain.
Inconvenient to use:The use of FTP is not as convenient as network sharing as compared to network sharing. Files on a network share can be used directly as if they were local files, while FTP requires the file to be used locally. In addition, the product interface of FTP is not as simple and easy to understand as general TOC products, and in many cases, it is difficult for business personnel without IT background to operate proficiently on their own, which will affect business efficiency.
Incomplete logs:FTP will also produce log records, but it is limited to uploading ** and other tabular logs, without detailed operation instructions, such as who, when, and what files were specifically operated, etc., and at the same time, in the event of a data security incident, the original file cannot be traced, which leads to the inability to effectively and accurately carry out the enterprise audit work.
In addition to the above reasons, listed companies pay more attention to the protection of data assets, and the security of data and the efficiency of business development also have a more direct and critical impact on them.
So, are there any FTP alternative products and solutions that can meet the needs of listed companies? What exactly do so many listed companies choose when they carry out FTP substitution?
The Ftrans EFT enhanced file transfer system is equipped with the Ftrans ultra-high-speed transfer engine to replace the FTP transfer server, helping enterprises achieve safe, controllable, efficient and reliable file transfer at a lower cost and investment, and supporting the rapid development of key business and external cooperation of enterprises.
1. As an overall solution, it can completely replace the original FTP application and file transfer tools of enterprises, and solve the problems of security, convenience, multiple scenarios and multiple needs of enterprises in transmission.
2. It can smoothly replace the traditional FTP system, the operation and use mode remain unchanged, and at the same time, it can also provide FTP SFTP services, which are compatible with existing application modes and can also provide high-performance secure transmission protocol services.
3. Provide private high-performance secure transmission protocol to avoid security accidents caused by security vulnerabilities in the protocol.
4. Support transmission encryption, storage encryption, automatic virus detection and killing, greatly improving data security; Provide comprehensive security policies and complete audit logs to meet the requirements of classified protection and industry norms for listed companies.
5. Greatly improve transmission performance, and continuously improve the bandwidth utilization rate to 80% in intranet, Internet, private line, VPN and other environments, effectively ensuring the work of business departments.
6. Optimized for ultra-large files and massive file transmission, it can easily cope with the challenges of big data transmission and meet the various file transmission needs of listed enterprises.
7. Based on a set of account and permission policies, the access audit trail is carried out in a centralized manner to avoid the problem of maintaining account permissions and decentralized audit in each storage system.
