nextcloud - support for UDP file transfers or faster TCP file transfers

Post by robertw » 2017/10/19 19:22:30

hi all,

i have come across nextcloud and im finding it ticks all my boxes ie you can share a folder between multiple users , send them an email for notifications and password resets, really good

my question is, can it do UDP file transfers like "signiant mediashuttle" or "aspera faspex" if so do you have to enable it ie the ports it uses for file transfers

if it doesnt support UDP ports can i maybe make port 443 (https) how external users connect to the website, can i maybe make port 443 fast for fast file transfers ie multiple streams and not just one stream, ie pipe

many thanks,

rob

No it does not support udp, Nextcloud would have to implement a basic udp server in it's codebase; it's tcp only. UDP isn't very reliable either you'll get dropped packets all over the place, it's more suited to things like video where it doesn't particularly matter.

I would focus your efforts on optimising your webserver and configuring Nextcloud properly. I would recommend you direct your questions at the Nextcloud community though.
