A protocol like SFTP(SSH File Transfer Protocol) works through SSH and \u064a\u0648\u0641\u0631 much better security over FTP. HTTP and HTTPS provide much faster speeds along with good security features which makes it a good alternative to FTP as a whole.\n<\/li>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<li><strong>FTP vs SFTP<\/strong>The main difference between the two protocols (FTPS and SFTP) is their way of functioning. There is a performance overhead on FTPS since it needs multiple ports. For every new transfer file is requested, FTPS requires a new port for the data channel. The upside of \u0647\u0630\u0627 \u0647\u0648 that the control and data channels run asynchronously in two different connections; this exclusive data channel makes transfers much faster. While the\u00a0 SFTP needs one port number for all communication to the data channels, making it much easier to secure and with less performance overhead. But having the same channel for control and data can turn out to be a bit slower.\n<\/li>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<li><strong>Configuring your FTP client for maximum speed<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/li>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<li><strong>Concurrent \u062a\u062d\u0645\u064a\u0644s:<\/strong>The concurrent download is a technical concept where it gives the ability to download multiple files simultaneously at the same time using FTP.
