Fast File Transfer on the Cloud
A growing number of individuals and organizations are moving their IT needs to the cloud. However, the provided file transfer tools are not sufficient for handling large data sets. Because of slow transfer speeds to the cloud, some companies give up and spend money shipping the data on physical media, which the provider then transfers to cloud-based storage.
Moving to the cloud is a forward-thinking decision. Shouldn't you be using forward-thinking technology?
How FileCatalyst Cloud Works
FileCatalyst Server lives inside the cloud on your virtual machine. Transfers to and from this machine use FileCatalyst's accelerated transfer protocol. Being immune to the negative effects of packet loss and latency, files are transferred at maximum available line speed. From there, files are simply moved to persistent storage from within the cloud.
Client Solution Options
HotFolder
HotFolder is a desktop application that may be installed at the client side. With HotFolder, set up one or more “watched” folders, which transfer new or changed files automatically. HotFolder has rich filtering and bandwidth scheduling capabilities, along with a number of other tools to fully control your file transfer.
Express
The FileCatalyst Express Client is a standalone desktop application for on-demand (unscheduled) file transfers. This is a good choice for people who: prefer on-demand workflow, are already familiar with FTP clients, and prefer to have an installed application.
Web Applets
Java Web Applets allow you to embed accelerated file transfer into any webpage, resulting in a zero-installation experience for the end-user. Build a new file transfer web portal, or add the applets to an existing one. There are three applets: two-way, upload-only, and download-only.
SDK
The FileCatalyst SDK is written in Java SE. Use the Client API to build an accelerated file transfer application or component. Use the Server API to build an interface for controlling the server. The Client API also includes a .NET wrapper. The Upload Applet also allows control of web-based uploads through a JavaScript API.
CLI
The CLI (Command Line Interface) can be triggered using scripts or by applications built in languages other than Java. If your existing process already uses command-line FTP, upgrade it with accelerated FileCatalyst transfers.
