Transfer data between servers (FXP)
This guide explains how to securely and easily transfer files between Web Hosting and/or Cloud Server.
Preamble
- The FXP (File Exchange Protocolis a method for transferring files directly between two FTP servers without the data passing through the local client.
- Using the FTP PORT and PASV commands, it allows for a connection to be established between the two servers for faster and more efficient file transfer, thus saving bandwidth.
- However, this method may present security risks if the connections are not secured by FTPS, and it requires a more complex configuration compared to traditional FTP transfers.
Transferring data between servers
FXP is enabled by default on Serveurs Cloud and hébergements Web (excluding Starter).
For example, you can use CrossFTP, a multi-platform software that allows you to perform FXP (as well as FTP, SFTP, WebDav, S3, OpenStack Swift).
