FTP and FTPS

At Files.com, we are one of the largest FTP providers in the world. That said, FTP is a 50 year old protocol and lacks some of the more sophisticated capabilities for security and performance found in our direct integrations, such as our Desktop, Mobile, Web portal, SDKs, API, and Command Line app. Additionally, corporate firewalls commonly interfere with FTP traffic.

Please visit our Preferred Apps For File Transfer page to learn about and download the Files.com native apps as an alternative to FTP.

We offer FTP primarily for customers who are forced to use it, typically because they are interacting with a legacy application, or legacy hardware, that only supports FTP.

For those customers, we are happy to help you get FTP working, but be aware that it will never be as fast or secure as our native apps.
