<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{Short description|Transmission of computer files}}<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;File transfer&#039;&#039;&#039; is the transmission of a computer file through a communication channel from one computer system to another. Typically, file transfer is mediated by a communications protocol. In the history of computing, numerous [[Comparison of file transfer protocols|file transfer protocols]] have been designed for different contexts.<br /> <br /> ==Protocols==<br /> A file transfer protocol is a convention that describes how to transfer files between two computing endpoints. As well as the stream of [[bit]]s from a file stored as a single unit in a [[file system]], some may also send relevant [[metadata]] such as the [[filename]], file size and [[timestamp]] – and even [[file-system permissions]] and [[file attribute]]s.<br /> <br /> Some examples:<br /> * [[File Transfer Protocol|FTP]] is an older cross-platform file transfer protocol&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web |last1=Prince |first1=Brian |title=Should Organizations Retire FTP for Security? |url=http://www.securityweek.com/should-organizations-retire-ftp-security |website=Security Week |date=24 January 2012 |access-date=14 September 2017}}&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> * [[SSH File Transfer Protocol]] a file transfer protocol secured by the [[Secure Shell]] (SSH) protocol<br /> * [[Secure copy protocol|Secure copy]] (&#039;&#039;scp&#039;&#039;) is based on the [[Secure Shell]] (SSH) protocol<br /> * [[HTTP]] can support file transfer<br /> * [[BitTorrent]], [[Gnutella]] and other distributed file transfers systems use [[peer-to-peer]] <br /> * In [[Systems Network Architecture]], [[IBM Advanced Program-to-Program Communication|LU 6.2]] [[Connect:Direct]] and [[XCOM Data Transport]] are traditionally used to transfer files<br /> * Many [[instant messaging]] or [[LAN messenger]] systems support the ability to transfer files<br /> * [[Computer]]s may transfer files to [[peripheral device]]s such as [[USB flash drive]]s<br /> * Dial-up [[modem]]s [[null modem]] links used [[XMODEM]], [[YMODEM]], [[ZMODEM]] and similar<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[File sharing]]<br /> * [[Managed file transfer]]<br /> * [[Peer-to-peer file sharing]]<br /> * [[Pull technology]]<br /> * [[Push technology]]<br /> * [[Sideloading]]<br /> * [[WeTransfer]]<br /> * [[Smash (file transfer service)|Smash]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> {{Computer files}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:File transfer}}<br /> [[Category:Internet terminology]]<br /> [[Category:Network file transfer protocols]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Compu-network-stub}}</div>
