Big Data – Fast data transfer with the Br24 online tool and FTP

Everyday we work with a large amount of digital data at Br24. High quality image data has a large volume of data. The fast exchange of any data with our customers is particularly important for us. This is why we rely on the combination of FTP and our Br24 online tool when it comes to transmitting data. For a quick, easy and secure data exchange. Because when it comes to transmitting large amounts of data over the Internet, FTP offers many advantages.

 

What is FTP?

FTP stands for “File Transfer Protocol”. This technology has been specially developed to transfer data quickly from a so called FTP client (e.g. a local computer) to a FTP server (a web server) and vice versa. Through an access, the FTP client can upload data to the FTP server or download data from the server. During the connection FTP sort of ensures that there is a thick line available for the file upload and download. Exactly what we need for our daily work.

The data transfer itself is also straightforward. The FTP program shows you the file structure on your own device as well as the structure on our FTP server. To upload, simply select the files to be transferred from your device and drag them with the mouse to our server using drag & drop. The transfer starts immediately and a progress indicator shows you the current transfer status. After successful uploading of your data, close the FTP program and conveniently order the job via our online tool. Our production team starts working immediately. As soon as your order has been fully processed and our quality control has been completed, we will inform you immediately by e-mail.

It is one of the fastest and most efficient ways to transfer large files from a computer to a server. Both upload and download allow you to transfer all files at once. Which means you do not have to upload or download each file individually. Instead, you can simply transfer a complete folder or even multiple folders at the same time.
And even if the connection terminates during the transfer, the progress of the transfer is not lost. As soon as the connection is re-established, the transfer starts exactly where it stopped.
