FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, is a commonly used method of file transfer among clients in the business world. However, more and more corporations and small businesses are finding that FTP doesn't allow them to transfer files as securely or quickly as they'd like. Now, ShareFile offers a better solution to the process of large file transfer.
ShareFile is a trusted company that offers your company secure file transfer services and lightning-fast downloads. When uploaded and downloaded via FTP, files are not encrypted and can require that you open up your system in order to network to another. This level of system vulnerability is not worth any file you need to receive. Additionally, ShareFile delivers secure transfers at nearly twice the speed of FTP.
A Reliable FTP File Transfer Alternative
ShareFile won't run into firewall problems like FTP. FTP uses port 21, a dedicated port designed for file transfer. The problem is, most large corporations' firewalls block this port in an attempt to thwart outside security threats. ShareFile is an independent server that only requires access to the Internet. There are no complicated connections to make, no blocked ports, and all passwords are hashed so they cannot be intercepted.
