FTP/SFTP

FTP is the traditional file transfer protocol. It’s a basic way of using the Internet to share files. SFTP (or Secure File Transfer Protocol) is an alternative to FTP but adds a layer of security.

The reliable FTP/SFTP server offers a centralized location for storing and managing recordings and backups, streamlining administrative tasks and enhancing overall PBX efficiency.
