Save Data Transfer Time and Cost by Compression in CrossFTP

Saving data transfer time and cost is one of the most important object for FTP/Cloud storage client. In this document, we present how CrossFTP can help to save data transfer time and cost by compression.

It's easy to turn on data compression supported in CrossFTP: go Sites -> Site Manager ->  Actions -> Data Compression. Once this is toggled, CrossFTP automatically compresses your file before the transfer happens, and upload to the remote site. This helps to save time and cost for file transfers:

• For cloud storage (e.g., S3, Microsoft Azure) and WebDav protocols: gzip is used as content encoding to compress the files
• For FTP, mode Z is enabled during the data transfer to reduce the transportation size.
