Bandwidth acceleration using HTTPS and not using UDP. Same results, but much more firewall and corporate network friendly. CrushTunnel uses patent pending technology.

Create a new tunnel, using the HTTP(S) Tunnel type. Enable Auto start, and Use Chunked Encoding. The name is not important, but something simple will do.

!!!Remote Endpoint Scenario
At line 34 changed one line
Using the normal WebInterface now will allow for accelerated transfers when you use the advanced uploader, or advanced downloader.
The remote endpoint scenario takes this ability one step further by creating always-on CrushTunnel connections that are extending the location of where your CrushFTP server presents itself.
The scenario would be a main server located in the US, but high speed endpoint locations located in Europe, and Australia.

A wildcard certificate should be used on the main server in the USA. For example: *.crushftp.com, and then using DNS entries of:
us.crushftp.com —> USA IP 0 ms latency
eu.crushftp.com —> Europe IP 120ms latency
au.crushftp.com —> Australia IP 220ms latency

To get the advanced downloader, add the files into a basket by right clicking and selecting Add To Basket. Then use the advanced link to download.
A virtual machine located in each of those zones would receive the connection, and simply tunnel it to the opposite side (which is always us.crushftp.com). The cert the browser would be
presented would always be the same *.crushftp.com, so all of those DNS names would be successfully matched and allowed.

Under normal conditions a 220ms of latency would yield about 2.4Mbit of speed per channel. This assumes default TCP tuning on both ends. Using 20 channels, this would now yield 48Mbit of
speed. Adjust the number of channels as needed and appropriate.
At line 54 added 3 lines
No data would be stored on these remote server locations, all data is simply being streamed. Users that are in Australia for instance would use the nearby server’s DNS to get much faster
speeds in file transfer since their local machine’s latency to that server would probably be under 40ms, or faster. The end points server locations would need to be located in ideal locations to
serve the customers with the lowest latency.

!!!FTP
The CrushTunnel solution is CPU intensive, but light on disk usage. Disk would only be used for logging, nothing else. The CPU is used heavily in the HTTPS encryption, and tunnel
management. The benefits include one single location of data, one storage location, and one set of users.
At line 46 changed 22 lines
With a few more steps, you can also configure FTP to be tunnels. The FTP protocol can be sent over the HTTPS encrypted tunnel and get the same speed gains as the WebInterface's automatic Java applet handling. To do this, we use a java web start application that can start and stop the tunnel for a local FTP client to connect through.
We make a dummy user named "tunnel" that has no access to anything, other than the ability to login, and startup a secure tunnel.
[attachments|tunnel_only.png]
Now you can use a URL like this in your web browser to download and start the tunnel for the FTP client.
https://www.domain.com/?u=tunnel&p=tunnel&path=/WebInterface/CrushTunnel.jnlp
When this launches, it will ask you for the tunnel username. This will be "tunnel" that you configured above. You can also hard code this if you make a copy of this jnlp file so the user doesn't need to enter in this information ever time. Add in these two lines to the properties:
{{{
<property name="crushtunnel.remote.user" value="tunnel"/>
<property name="crushtunnel.remote.pass" value="tunnel"/>
}}}
[attachments|jnlp.png]
Once the tunnel has been started, you can use any FTP client on the same machine, and go to:
ftp://user:pass@127.0.0.1:55555/
