Reliable file transfer on the Internet using distributed file transfer, DFT

Show other versions (2)

Transferring files over the Internet is extremely common, hence the protocol, FTP. However, the functionality, and reliability of FTP relies on lower layer protocols. Improved performance mechanisms have yet to be deployed that combine the ubiquity of FTP, high reliability, and fault tolerance. This...
