    Good article, on the topic of fast file transfers it’s worth to mention some tools for file transfers over WAN (wide area network). With today’s high speed internet connections, network latency and pocket loss reduce the efficiency of FTP or SFTP. There are file transfer tools on the market that specialize in high performence file transfers for WAN. Tools like FileCatalyst will always guarantee maximum speed regardless of the network condtions.
