Hollywood and big data File transfers play a crucial role in filmmaking and video production. Raw footages and partially enhanced videos may have to cross vast distances to reach post-production teams or studio executives for further editing or review.

Small and medium-sized businesses in the US typically have Internet connections with upload speeds of up to 10 Mbps (Megabits per second). At that speed, a 100 GB upload will need about a day to complete. Most people, on the other hand, have upload speeds of only around 0.6 Mbps. This would theoretically translate to a 2-day upload for the same 100 GB load.

Overview A lot of people who often send files love FTP. The File Transfer Protocol allows users to transmit volumes of files over the Internet through uncomplicated FTP clients, some of which are already built-in in the two popular operating systems, Windows and Mac OS X. Sadly, this well-loved technology is not very secure. That's why people who craft regulations like PCI DSS are wary of it. They know that an attacker armed with a packet sniffer can easily obtain usernames and passwords just by sniffing an FTP connection.
