Due to the capabilities for check-pointing and automatic recovery, I
would suggest C:D for large file transfers.
Though the transferred file has to be fully landed before processing
of the data can begin, whereas FTP protocols do allow processing of
the data as it is received.
If you are doing other transfers via C:D, then licensing cost is not
an issue. But if C:D is only used for these transfers, then a
cost/benefit evaluation has to be made versus the cost/impact of
error recovery time and effort needed to cope with FTP
failures. Note that C:D does allow for alternate nodes to receive a
given transmission.
With both FTP and C:D transfers, I would suggest sending a zero
length file to signal successful completion.
C:D can spawn a C:D process on the receiving end when transfer has
been successfully completed or it could spawn task on sending or
receiving systems to handle an unrecoverable transmission
failure. Then there are the capabilities of the C:D FileAgent
component for additional automation options.

Hello Group,
Currently we are using connect direct in our environment for file
transfer. But now, our team like to migrate file transfer from
connect direct to sftp.
I think, sftp doesn't have any mechanism to find that file has been
transferred successfully or not . If we are transferring any big
file using sftp and Network connection broken then how it's going to
impact the file transfer or sender should again initiate file transfer.
In connect direct case we get return code on sender and receiver
side which confirm if file transfer is perfectly sent to destination
without any issue.
Can anybody guide me on this , which facility is best to use sftp or
connect direct
