File transfer involves the transmission of a computer file through a communication channel from one computer system to another. Typically, this is mediated by a communications protocol and may be used to communicate between two computers within the same physical location or from one computer to another on the Internet (see FTP).
File transfers are increasingly vital for businesses in areas such as IoT and big data analytics. These applications put a premium on fast speeds and high file volumes, making the need for advanced file transfer technology all the more important.
Fortunately, there are many methods and programs that can be used to transfer files between devices. From a computer to another computer using an external hard drive, or a USB cable and copy-and-paste protocol, to cloud drives or software like PCmover that guides you step by step through the process, HP offers a number of tools to help with your file transfer needs.
