The user obtains drive space for storing backup copies, accessible via
various file transfer protocols over the network ordering the Backup Space
service.
At the moment, the service includes the following access protocols for
backups:
- FTP (regular);
- FTPS (secure FTP with traffic encryption using SSL / TLS);
- SFTP (secure FTP-like protocol that runs on top of an SSH
connection);
- SCP (an older, but also very widely used, secure file transfer protocol over
SSH);
- rsync (in our case is also protected, which is working on top of an SSH
connection).
Namely we provide the entire set of the most popular and common protocols for
the repository accessing. Almost all specialized backup software (both paid and
free) works using the protocols in this set. Access to remote storage via FTP is
supported by a huge amount of software for a wide variety of purposes. You can
even work with data using a regular web browser, having passed authorization if
it is necessary. There are also many software that allows you to work with
remote storage as a local drive using one of the provided protocols.
