As human society gradually enters the information age, information security has also received more and more attention. For computers, information is represented as various kinds of data. Whether an appropriate method is used for file transmission has become one of the primary considerations for ensuring data security. So how to ensure the security of file transfer?
The crisis of information leakage
With the development of network technology, a large amount of data needs to be transmitted on the network. On the one hand, file transfer brings convenience to people and unlimited business opportunities for many businesses; on the other hand, there are insecure factors in file transfer, and this insecurity factor is inherent in the TCP/IP protocol. The same goes for some TCP/IP-based services. Therefore, in order to make the file transfer safe and take full advantage of its commercial value, people choose data encryption.
Insecurity of FTP
In the early days of the Internet, the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) did not provide for password security. On the FTP client and server side, data is transmitted in clear text, and anyone with control over the routing on the communication path can sniff your passwords and data.
FTP file transfer can use two methods: anonymous login and authorized user name and password login. Anonymous login increases the insecurity of file transfer and is often used by hackers. In addition, port 21 will also be used by some Trojans.
Of course, we can use SSL to encapsulate FTP, but FTP transfers files by establishing multiple links. Even if we protect the password security, it is difficult to protect the security of data transmission.
Since the release of the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), secure data transfer has also undergone considerable development. It is recommended to use Xingyun Manager to replace FTP for file transfer.
Xingyun butler file transfer is more secure
Why is it recommended to use Xingyun Manager file transfer tool?
First, Xingyun Butler's file transfer is free of installation and deployment. It adopts the online file transfer method of a web browser to directly transfer files. The steps are simple and easy to use.
Second, the 1G network disk provided by Xingyun Butler will be in the same intranet as the user's cloud host. When transferring files, users can make full use of the advantages of the cloud manufacturer's intranet gigabit bandwidth to obtain faster transmission speed. .
Third, there is no need to open the 21/20 port of the server for intranet transmission to eliminate this security risk.
Fourth, by using intranet file transfer, you can obtain extremely fast file transfer speeds of 10~30Mbps peak rate, without occupying the public network bandwidth of the user's cloud host, and without paying for file transfer traffic.
Fifth, Xingyun Butler file transfer has file distribution and collection functions. When the company needs to upload files to hundreds or thousands of servers at the same time, the user only needs to open the "file distribution console" and transfer the files to be distributed to the console first. , and then fill in the path of the target host file distribution. After the host is selected, click the "Distribute Now" icon to distribute the file to all cloud hosts with one click.
Ensuring data security is one of the inevitable and important topics on the road of cloud computing and big data. Xingyun Butler is a leading cloud computing management platform in China, providing more cross-cloud vendor cloud computing management solutions for large and medium-sized enterprises, and escorting users' data security in file transmission.
