FTP in the Cloud

How many times have you been in a situation where you are working in a conference on the cloud and you need to collaborate on large files, databases, with revisions that need to be made on the fly?

Probably not many but for the most of the world, this is an ongoing situation daily. I found myself in this situation working my colleague Kirill who is based in Moskow. Kirill is one of those programming geniuses who makes things happen and he's barely past his 30th birthday. He is currently the genius behind my present project dealing with Redmine Issue Tracking systems. His website is www.redminecrm.com and he is doing big things over there. Check him out if you are looking for an inexpensive helpdesk and support ticketing system that users open source software and see what he can do for you. Tell I referred you for a decent discount, dont forget.

The reason why we used to have a hard time collaborating was due to the fact that there didn't exist a repository out there that was capable of handling large files and staying low cost. Enter Egnyte (www.egnyte.com). This ftp site has exactly what you need to get the job done when it comes to cloud collaboration. Here are some of the features:

• Leverage local storage: Egnyte works with your existing local storage, folder structures, and access permissions
• Control where data is stored: Store files on your local storage, in Egnyte or in other hosting solutions (S3, Azure, etc)
• Upload/Download 25x faster: Collaborate at LAN speeds, without bandwidth limitations of the cloud



Flow of how the site handles your collaboration team

Chose your plan

As you can see from the screenshots above that this company can play a vital part in your cloud collaborations, especially if you are an up and starting company or already established. This tool can come in handy for those global meetings that need to have a storage presence on the web.

It also has a feature that will allow you to connect a specified folder directly to the cloud repository, thus making it easier for you to access data, docs, software, databases, virtual apps, you name it.

The reason Im using it is so that I may be able to receive revisions of specific projects that I collaborate on with fellow colleagues around the globe, bringing us closer together for testing, analysis and deployment just to name a few.
