Your requirements for a data transfer are those conditions that must be met for a given transfer tool to be usable. They might include the following:

• Supported Servers - All data transfer utilities require some sort of server to be running on the remote systems that are involved in a transfer. If the remote computer you want to use isn't running the right servers, some utility options may be unavailable to you.
• Cloud Compatibility - Many transfer utilities do not work with cloud storage providers. If you want to move data to or from cloud storage, choose a utility that supports your cloud service.
• Optional Verification - In some cases, you may want to verify that your data was transferred without errors being introduced. You could log into both computers used in the transfer to create and compare checksums of the data. But doing that for large data sets is tedious and error prone, so you may require a utility that can perform verification as part of the transfer operation.
