Everyone knows that FTP is a set of standard protocols for file transfer on the network. As one of the most classic protocols on the Internet, it has existed for 50 years. With the development of the times, more and more users and enterprises began to feel that FTP was not enough to meet everyone's needs, and there were more and more problems and loopholes, and it gradually became outdated and backward. Everyone began to desire that new products could replace FTP and carry the burden of enterprise file transfer.
The obsolescence of FTP is not just talk, but with everyone's emphasis on data security and protection of data files, the existing functions of FTP can no longer meet everyone's needs, and both security and operation need to be improved.

Security issues: FTP transmits data in clear text, and anyone who has control over the routing on the communication path can obtain your password and data through sniffing.
Unreliable transmission: When transferring large or massive files, it is impossible to confirm whether the recipient has received the file, nor can it guarantee whether the file is complete and correctly transmitted to the recipient. FTP is prone to transmission errors or errors during transmission. Is the case of missing files.
Weak traceability: It is impossible to fully record the entire transmission process and keep log records. When there is a problem with the file, it is difficult to know which link has the problem or who sent it to whom, leaving great inconvenience for future traceability.
