OFTP / OFTP2

OFTP (Odette File Transfer Protocol): Established by Odette, the European automotive standards body, OFTP is the most prolific protocol inside Europe for the exchange of EDI data, in particular for the automotive industry, and was initially designed to work over an X.25 network.

OFTP2 (Odette File Transfer Protocol 2): This advanced version of OFTP is mainly intended for secure data exchange over the Internet, where security is enhanced by the use of encryption methods and digital certificates.
