Fast Data Transfer

FDT streams a dataset continuously through one or more TCP connections rather than restarting the transfer for every file. Its examples run a receiver and point the client at a host and destination directory, or use an SCP-style command that starts the remote process through SSH. The SSH mode requires a remote SSH server and valid shell account. Recursive pull and file-list inputs handle larger selections, while server lifetime and transfer rate are configurable. IP filtering limits allowed addresses but does not itself provide confidentiality; choose the documented authentication mode for the deployment.
