FTP Hosting for Architects

By:Mike Jewson


Transferring layout and blueprints over the Internet



Problem in transferring large blueprints or layout over the Internet is a common problem for architects. As an architect you need a secure and efficient medium to send large digital files to clients and customers. It is observed that the process of sending files from one computer to another often terminates when the file size exceeds the limit. To overcome this hurdle you can break a single large file in multiple small files and send them through Email as an attachment. Clients or customers, who are receiving the files, will integrate the parts to get the original content of the large file.



For architects, the process is not efficient at all. Breaking the digital format of a blueprint or layout into several parts and then integrating them to get the original image may create problem for clients and customers. Also, it is not desirable that the client or customer can efficiently integrate the parts. Though it is true that business organizations are more familiar with Email services to communicate with the clients and customers however, Email is not the right medium to send large files.



FTP (File Transfer Protocol) hosting service can be the right option for architects to transfer large digital layouts and blueprints on the World Wide Web, keeping the content unchanged. For an architect it is necessary to exchange information (text and/or image) with the customers and to maintain the security of business content. FTP hosting service not only ensures efficient transmission of large files over the Internet but also restricts unauthorized third party from accessing the information.



Why FTP for Architects?



Be it a large architect firm or a home business, File Transfer Protocol is a suitable communication protocol to transfer images and confidential content, irrespective of file size and type. Architects use FTP as an efficient mode for transferring large files:





  • Multimedia Presentation


  • Interior and Exterior Designs


  • Master Plan, Blueprint and Layout


  • Confidential Financial Data


  • Consultancy






FTP hosting services come with all the features, which are sufficient to transfer designs and images through a given network. An architect requires a suitable medium not only to exchange business communication with the clients but also to share information and designs in digital format.



Just think about a secure space in the server, allocated only for your business and only the authorized clients can access information from there. FTP hosting service provider will allocate necessary space in the server based on the requirement of your business process. Files are exchanged between the remote computers via this server.



Architects use FTP hosting service to develop 3D preview of the architecture for the client, to display audio and/or video presentation of a project and to exchange password protected plans and designs. The choice of using public or secured FTP server is based on the requirement. It is recommended to use private FTP hosting service to protect the privacy of the design and content from your rivals. Following the baseline of FTP hosting service it can be said that FTP hosting service will allow only FTP account holders to access the files from FTP server.



Features of FTP Hosting Service



Selection of a right hosting service matters for architects. Compared to a Web Server, FTP provides ultimate security and offers wide array of useful features for architects. Transferring designs or video presentations require secured medium to keep the privacy of the content. With Secured FTP Hosting Service you can transfer password-protected content and images in a compressed file format.



Following are some common features of FTP hosting services:





  • Large storage space in the server


  • FTP Software support to upload files, download files and manage FTP site


  • Private FTP account for users in the business system


  • Customized directories


  • Daily backups of data


  • Unlimited Bandwidth to transfer files


  • 24/7 Technical support






Sounds interesting? Register for FTP hosting service for your business from an authorized FTP hosting service provider. Initially you will get a trial period to familiarize with the process. Selection of FTP software depends upon the computer system that you are using in the business. For example, if you use Mac then it is recommended to go for Fetch FTP, otherwise, for general PC users recommended software are WS_FTP Pro or Cute FTP. FTP hosting service reduces the task of copying information on the disk to keep the backups. No need to use FedEx or other similar services to transfer files to your client. FTP hosting services save your time and money, and allow you to transfer or share information securely, protected by password.
