Send large digital files using an FTP service.

Businesses use websites to market their products and services. Couples share their wedding process by blogging and posting pictures online. Electronic reports save printing and shipping costs. An FTP, or file transfer protocol, publishing service helps you with such tasks for a monthly fee.

  1. Description

    • FTP software makes transferring large electronic files easy and fast, without timing out before their upload or download is complete. Many design programs and operating systems now incorporate FTP in their software. FTP publishing services provide clients with the complete ability to put or "publish" something on the Internet or send it from creator to user and back.

    How It Works

    • An FTP publishing service provides remote, secure servers that hold and make available files you created to publish and update your website, share photos and movies, or manage client access to large report files, track when the clients upload or download them, and provide secure backup for your data.

    Benefits

    • An FTP publishing service handles the communication technology and security issues of making large information files and web pages available through the Internet so that you don't have to add that expertise to your own staff or bear the expense of owning, operating and securing your own server.
