Abstract

File Transfer Protocol is the most popular file transfer standard. This FTP can let a computer system connect to the internet via a communication network, and it can also access the system resources from the internet. File server is being downloaded now by TCP/IP protocol, while before it was downloaded by signal server. Due to the limited flow control, the old method could not use download time efficiently. In order to solve the flow control problem, some researchers came up with a distributed file transfer method that can share the document with other users, thus allowing the shortest transfer time using neighboring servers. Although the distributed file transfer can reduce the file transfer time, it was not concerned with the quality of the transfer between two servers, and was inappropriate for file segmentation and transfer, so the file transfer could not attain the optimal transfer efficacy. Based on our research, we propose a new method called Distributed Parallelized File Transfer Protocol (DPFTP). This method is based on Parallelized File Transfer Protocol (P-FTP) and is beneficial to multi-users, as it utilizes server loading and reduces the download time.
