UDP File Transfer With JetStream Software
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is a method to transfer large files across the internet. It was overlooked by users as a file transport protocol and many people opted instead to use Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) such as Dropbox or WeTransfer.
The advent of broadband speeds, however, brought attention back to UDP. As a means that could deliver for data-heavy multimedia files, UDP avoids the unnecessary overhead of TCP. For example, TCP requires an ordered delivery of data from user to server and always acknowledges a set of packets. If there is a negative acknowledgement, a retransmission must be performed, which results in larger overhead and greater use of bandwidth. In essence, the transfer is slower and because TCP uses bandwidth inefficiently, it takes away resources that could be allocated elsewhere.
UDP, on the other hand, does not require an ordered delivery of data and supports a continuous packet stream. Therefore, UDP is exceptionally efficient in utilizing bandwidth and can handle poor performing networks. Today, companies looking to quickly move large files choose UDP over the much slower TCP.
JetStream is an enterprise grade UDP software solution designed to achieve full line speed regardless of network conditions. Focused on high performance, our fast large file transfer software is the easiest way to send big files quickly and securely anywhere around the world. JetStream large file transfer software is built for power and simplicity so all users, regardless of technical ability, can transfer their files with blazing speed, enterprise reliability, and high security.

- Change transfer priority
- Share folders
- Create Watch Folder automations
JetStream gives your teams and your clients an approachable and easy way to transfer large files.
No Time Outs
Relentless Reliability
JetStream UDP file transfer software is resilient. Unlike TCP, JetStream doesn’t time out because of fluctuating internet connections or long distances. Everyone has experienced the frustration of file transfers taking too long or worse yet, files not arriving at their destination and having to start over.
With a custom accelerated file transfer protocol, JetStream provides maximum throughput and performance over high latency and unreliable connections. It’s relentless in getting your files to where they need to go. Send your large files worry-free knowing that JetStream will deliver your files intact through:
- A client-server architecture robust to packet loss, reordering, and delays
- Configurable MD5 to verify transfer integrity on-the-fly or by file
- Configurable transfer properties, such as send rate and priority
- Auto-resume functionality to easily and automatically recover from network and internet interruptions
Built in Security
High Security
Security is built-in to JetStream UDP file transfer software. We provide comprehensive security to your files through user authentication and transfer level encryption. Our secure file transfer software provides confidentiality, data integrity, packet replay protection and more:
- Point-to-point connectivity between the client and server
- Industry standard encryption, including SSL (TLSv1.3 or TLSv1.2) for JetStream Server connections and AES 256 for data transfer
- Enhanced connectivity security using machine validation
- Support for existing domain credentials, with user authentication via LDAP(S), Active Directory (AD, ADS), or database
- Ability to restrict user activity to specific resources and folders
- Support for Relay configuration, minimizing a machine’s connectivity to the internet
JetStream provides this security configured by default, but users can alter the configurations based on their needs. If more security is required, then users can increase encryption or configure the system within a DMZ. Within a Virtual Private Network (VPN), then security such as encryption can be lowered or removed all together given the inherent security with VPNs.
Faster Teamwork
Collaboration
JetStream UDP file transfer software enhances your team’s collaboration. When teams can share and transfers large files quickly and without worry, they can work more efficiently and collaborate more fluidly. Your projects will take less time to complete.
Furthermore, with remote work and geographically dispersed teams becoming the norm, the need for fast large file transfer software is growing more and more. Businesses need quick access to their files and data storage from multiple locations. JetStream offers companies flexibility and a method of securely and reliably sharing data, regardless of the distance.

Prioritize File Transfers
JetStream UDP file transfer software has centralized bandwidth management to ensure your most important files are moved first. Critical and time-sensitive data need to be sent with higher priority than other files. With JetStream, you can assign different priority levels to your file transfers:
- Set low, normal, or high bandwidth utilization in priority lanes
- Rank transfers within a priority lane
- Set bandwidth ceiling for low priority individual transfers
How Does UDP File Transfer Work?
Overall, UDP file transfers are a fast, simple, and efficient protocol. UDP takes large data sets and breaks them down into individual packets that are then reconstructed to its original form once it arrives to the recipient. Because it sends the packets directly to the recipient without requiring feedback mechanisms, it eliminates latency and allows you to use all of your available bandwidth.
JetStream UDP file transfer uses state-of-the-art technology to move your data rapidly and securely. The software is remarkably easy to use – simply drag and drop files to start transfers.
Use JetStream to ingest and distribute content as well as collaborate with team members or clients. Lastly, rest assured that your file and folder structure will remain intact during the transfer process.
