You may be able to deliver files to a number of recipients by providing them with a download link for all. This does not work well if the files are different for each recipient. Conventional FTP does not have Push-down capability; and E-mail attachment is not practical to handle large number of recipients or large files. When you receive files... The need often arises when others want to send files to you. FTP is one of the most popular ways people transmit files. Using FTP requires the users to have technical training in setting up the client software.
