FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a faster and more secure way of transferring files from PC to PC or PC to Server over the internet. It is best for large files like RAW, PSD, TIFF file-type images. To outsource your image for editing like clipping path, retouching, background removing works, Send Files Through FTP because FTP can be a life savior for you. Unfortunately, you have very few options when you want to transfer your files without dropping the quality.
You can send your large amount of files with large size through FTP using a third party application for post-processing and receive files from UK Clipping Path.
Importance of using FTP
Now, why will you use FTP? How is it better than the typical “HTTP file transferring” method? You can transfer files using different applications like “Dropbox,” “Google Drive,” “We Transfer,” and many more through the HTTP method. But one of the main disadvantages of using the HTTP method is unable to transfer larger files. Another one is the slow transferring rate, and you will also have a connection lost issue on top of that. So let’s know some of the advantages of using FTP which will make you realize the importance of FTP.
Advantages of File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

- It can save your transferring process even in connection lost period and can resume from where it stopped.
- You can add or delete files from the queue of Download/Upload.
- You can also do scheduled transfer if your FTP client supports it.
- “Size doesn’t matter” for FTP servers which is a big time-saving feature.
- It can transfer files faster than HTTP.
- It is supported by all hosts also.
