For media creators who would like to expand their businesses into global markets, the ability to transfer large files over the internet is a necessary skill. When one can deliver gig sized data files over oceans online then geography becomes unimportant and no longer hinders your business's growth.
While transferring large files is certainly not a novel idea, there are different methods used by producers video editors and a quick run down of the best methods is in order.
1. File Transfer Protocol called FTP is a popular method for transferring data between computers via the Internet. By using a FTP software users simply provide a host name, user name, and password and get access to password protected folders online and with the click of a button one can upload or download files to the client. This method is the best for transferring files because the only limit to file size is the allowed gigs on the website's server.
2. If you have the above mentioned access to an FTP server, you can upload a .mov file, for example, onto your server and provide a URL which your client can then right click and download. For example, a file named movie.mov placed on your FTP folder in a folder named clients would have the URL of http:// www.yourwebsite.com/clients/movie.mov.
3. P2P software, also known as Peer to Peer software, lets large media files which are hosted on participants computers be transferred and does not involve any uploading. All who participate need the same P2P software installed. No links are used and files are downloaded through the functions of the software.
4. SaaS, or Software as a Service, is when a site offers users access to an application which allows the transfer of files between its members. Users can upload files of a certain size and a link is created to allow downloading of the files. For a subscription fee, these services also allow the uploading and downloading of very large and multiple files.
As you become adept at the above file transfer methods, geography will no longer limit the growth of your business. Rising able geography will let you work for clients throughout the world as easily as in your own city or town.
