Introduction of File transfer Protocol

Introduction of File transfer Protocol

File transfer Protocol is a very common file sharing service that allows you to transfer your files from the storage device to ASUSTOR NAS. The file transfer protocols supported by ASUSTOR NAS can be divided into:

CIFS (Network File sharing system)

Usually refers to SMB,SAMBA or Windows file service, CIFS is mainly used in Microsoft Windows computers, as well as Mac OS X computers. This service is usually built-in when it leaves the factory.

AFP (Apple File transfer Protocol)

AFP is used in Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X computers to transfer files.

NFS (Network Archives Service)

NFS is a file transfer service used in Linux and Unix computers. If there are Linux or Unix users who want to log in to your NAS, please turn on this service.

FTP (File transfer Protocol) and FTPS (FTP with SSL encryption)

FTP is widely used in public. Altogether. File. Upload and download the case. After enabling the FTP server settings, you can log in to your NAS through any FTP client. You can also use a secure and encrypted FTP client to log in to NAS and data transmission.

WebDAV

WebDAV is the standard of Web file management, which is the abbreviation of web-based distributed authoring and versioning. It is a way to make drag-and-drop file transfer through HTTP web browsing. This transfer is quite similar to your file transfer on a standard Windows or Mac OS X computer.

In addition to the communication protocols mentioned above, ASUSTOR NAS also supports SSH and Rsync. SSH is a secure network transmission service, through data packet encryption technology, packets waiting for transmission will be encrypted and then transmitted to the network, while Rsync is used to synchronously update the files and directories of two computers, and appropriate use of incremental reserves to reduce data transmission.

The following is a list of the compatibility of various transport and communication protocols with Windows, Mac OS X and Linux:

Radium speed (Raysync) file transfer protocol perfectly solves the problems of cross-border transfer, long-distance transfer and large file transfer, and maximizes bandwidth efficiency, thus improving work efficiency.
