FTP (file transfer protocol) is used to move files and perform file related actions. It is a solid protocol supported by the majority of devices and computers sold in the last 40 years. Specific features can vary depending on if you access FTP via command line, FTP client, or use a cloud hosted FTP service. 
Using a hosted service provides the most features and flexibility for file transfers. https://www.exavault.com/ftp/online-ftp-server
