L.1 Important Changes in OFSAA Release 8.1
Starting with release 8.1, FTP is supporting only Restful services for FTP Web Services. The previous versions were supporting SOAP-based services. OFSAA has decided to move to REST as it is becoming the de facto communication mechanism across various platforms. REST is faster and uses less bandwidth. It is also easier to integrate REST with the existing applications with no need to re-factor infrastructure. This enables integration faster.
