Indeed, it appears that transfering files over the internet is still an open
question.
Well, it is rather a closed question. You should not transfer files, do
data instead. File is a container object for certain types of data
persistent in a file system. As such it has limitations and usage areas.
UNIX was in some sense responsible for overuse of files. It was the UNIX's
false idea that everything were a file.
Is there any relevant method to transfer files on the interent?
Specifically to transfer files, depending on the topology of the publishers
and subscribers, their coupling, mutual trust, connectivity QoS etc:
