NI FTP
*NI FTP (Network Innovations File Transfer Protocol)* is primarily associated with data transfer services tailored for specialized or embedded systems developed by Network Innovations. Supporting both TCP and UDP transport protocols, NI FTP enables efficient file exchange in proprietary or niche industrial and embedded environments where robust and straightforward communication is key. This port falls under the network and file transfer service category due to its intended purpose..
Port 47 is commonly recognized in the context of Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE), but in this particular legacy reference, it relates to Network Innovations File Transfer Protocol (NI FTP). NI FTP provides file transfer capabilities optimized for embedded applications or specialized network devices that require a lightweight, efficient protocol beyond standard FTP (port 21). Leveraging both TCP and UDP support, it allows flexible communication depending on network conditions and application requirements.
This protocol enables rapid and reliable movement of files such as firmware updates, sensor data, configuration files, or logs between embedded devices and management servers. Its dual support of transport protocols means TCP can be used where guaranteed delivery is critical, while UDP allows faster, connectionless exchanges in trusted or low-latency environments.
The proprietary nature of NI FTP may mean integration with Network Innovations’ own hardware/software platforms, offering tailored command sets, minimal overhead, or enhanced performance optimizations specific to their product ecosystem. Due to its industrial focus, it may also integrate with automation control systems or telemetry infrastructures.
