Everything FTP

Imagine a very large traditional filing cabinet as large as a room filing cabinet that is what an FTP site is like. In a filing cabinet, the clerk can label and organize files depending on how he wants it or the system he implements. He also dictates which files can be accessed freely and which files are off limits and available only to a chosen few.

In an FTP site, a UserID and Password is the key that opens this giant filing cabinet. The creator of the site has the power who to grant access to what information. Some sites have open access to everyone with a valid UserID and Password. For open sites, the UserID is �anonymous� and the Password would be your e-mail address. However, for restricted sites, there is an assigned UserID and Password unique to every qualified user.

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is an Internet standard where files are exchanged between two computers connected to the Internet. FTP is an Internet application that utilizes the Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocols in moving the files between the sender and the receiver.

Common usage of the FTP is transferring a web page created by the developer to the computer which acts as the network server. The network server in turn displays the web page on the computer of the user that accessed it. This is basically how files move within the World Wide Web. There are many commercial FTP programs on the Internet that you can buy or you can also search for free FTP programs.

Verizon Communications has announced their tests of an intelligent routing system that allows the content owners to share a very large file through a managed network which reduces download times by storing files with other users rather than the content owners’ servers. This will greatly improve performance and will make file exchanges a little faster.  The Verizon claims a managed Peer-to-Peer (P2P) protocol is a more cost and effective way to transfer large files.

A presentation last Friday in New York revealed the results of the tests, conducted with the collaboration of Pando Networks, a peer-assisted content of delivery service provider, and Yale University, which monitored their test and said it is “phenomenal.”
