FTP Server Details
Files.com operates proprietary FTP server software that we build and maintain in-house using our full-time employees.
Our server is compatible with all applicable FTP standards and is tested against many popular FTP clients.
The Files.com FTP server is hosted in 7 geographic regions and is deployed as a highly available service within each region. This means that there is no single FTP server you connect to; your requests are served by a pool of servers in each region.
RFC Compliance
Files.com implements the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) in accordance with the relevant IETF RFCs, primarily RFC 959 and related extensions. Our implementation follows the defined protocol commands and structures, ensures compatibility with a wide range of standard FTP clients and libraries, and supports both traditional and secure (FTPS) modes of operation, as well as both active and passive modes.
We regularly test interoperability to validate consistent behavior across environments, and while certain legacy features of FTP may be variably implemented across vendors, we believe our service is fully aligned with the RFCs and delivers a secure, reliable, and standards-compliant file transfer solution.
