hi ramesh,

data transfer is to transfer the data from your external system to your SAP system or from one SAP to another SAP system.

There are lots of methods available which can be used based on the context.

For eg,if you wanna transfer data from non sap to SAP you can use BDC or LSMW.

If you want to transfer data in a distributed enviroinment then you could use ALE/XI.

Cheers,
