MASV vs. FTP: Secure Intelligence vs. Legacy Transfer
See how MASV's modern, secure intelligent managed file transfer (MFT) compares to aging FTP infrastructure, and why more teams are making the switch.
FTP is a Complicated and Insecure Way to Share Files
Teams of all sizes are looking for modern alternatives to FTP (file transfer protocol) as a way to share large files or big datasets. And for good reason:
- FTP forces teams to manage outdated servers and deal with notorious firewall difficulties.
- It requires people without technical know-how to install and use FTP servers, which are often overly complex and not at all user friendly, leading to numerous support calls.
- Cumbersome onboarding: New users need to be authorized, which slows down your workflow (especially when working with external collaborators).
- FTP user interfaces are clunky, outdated, and quite frankly, ugly. FTP subjects your team, clients, and partners to a terrible user experience, which affects productivity and confidence in your brand.
Moving files to and from your team, external collaborators, and clients should be simple – not complex and time-consuming. Teams need an effective file transfer tool that’s easy-to-use, reliable, secure, and can accelerate file delivery from anywhere in the world.

Frequently Asked Questions
FTP was designed in 1971, long before modern cybersecurity threats existed. Standard FTP transmits data – including login credentials – in plain text, making it vulnerable to interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. While SFTP and FTPS add some security layers, they still require significant manual configuration to meet modern compliance standards. MASV is built secure by default, with AES-256 encryption, TLS 1.2+, MFA, and SSO included out of the box.
Yes. MASV supports any file type and is purpose-built for large file transfer, with no size limits on file packages. Where FTP connections are prone to timing out or failing on large transfers, MASV's accelerated network and reliability tools like infinite auto-retries maintain reliable delivery even for multi-gigabyte and terabyte-scale files over long distances.
FTP's true cost goes beyond the server itself. When you factor in hardware, software licensing, IT maintenance, security patching, and the staff time required to manage it all, FTP becomes quite expensive. MASV uses a flexible pricing model (from pay-as-you-go to subscriptions) with no upfront infrastructure costs, making it easier to budget and more cost-effective as you scale.
No. Unlike FTP, which requires server provisioning, network configuration, and ongoing maintenance, MASV is fully cloud-native and requires no infrastructure setup. Most users are up and running within minutes using the MASV Web App or Desktop App.
Yes. MASV offers native integrations with leading cloud storage platforms, creative tools, and media workflows, as well as a REST API and webhook support for custom automation. FTP has no native integration layer, meaning most connections to modern tools typically require middleware or custom scripting.
