- Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) – Defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as an
  extended version of SSH 2.0, allowing file transfer over SSH and for use with Transport Layer
  Security (TLS) and VPN applications.

- File Transfer Protocol over SSL/TLS (FTPS) – Encrypted FTP communication via TLS certificates.

- File Transfer Protocol (FTP) – Defined by RFC114 originally, and replaced by RFC765 and RFC959

```bash
~ mc admin config set myminio compression enable="on" extensions="" mime_types=""
```

The compression settings may also be set through environment variables.
When set, environment variables override the defined `compress` config settings in the server config.

```bash
export MINIO_COMPRESSION_ENABLE="on"
export MINIO_COMPRESSION_EXTENSIONS=".txt,.log,.csv,.json,.tar,.xml,.bin"

- Servers running distributed MinIO instances should be less than 15 minutes apart. You can enable [NTP](http://www.ntp.org/) service as a best practice to ensure same times across servers.
- `MINIO_DOMAIN` environment variable should be defined and exported for bucket DNS style support.
- Running Distributed MinIO on **Windows** operating system is considered **experimental**. Please proceed with caution.
