File Transfer Protocol in Cloud Computing

Abstract

The cloud computing is growing rapidly for it offers on - demand computing power and capacity. The power of cloud enables dynamic scalability of applications facing various business requirements. However, challenges arise when considering the large amount of existing applications. In thi s work we propose to move the traditional FTP service to the cloud. We implement FTP service on Windows Azure Platform along with the auto - scaling cloud feature. Based on this, we implement a benchmark to measure the performance of our CloudFTP. This case study illustrates the potential benefits and technical issues associated with the migration of the traditional applications to the clouds.
