Need a serious FTP client
« on: November 14, 2004, 08:15:25 PM »
Say you have 23,000 files (roughly 1.5 gigs) that you need to download from your web server...

SmartFTP chokes on that queue.  Filezilla hammers the server too much and results in about 1 out of 10 downloads successful the rest forcefully aborted.

Anyone suggest an FTP client which can support such a large download or is made for downloading lots of files at once.

Any suggestions appreciated, thanks
Nick

I've been using Bulletproof for years, initially because it was one of the first to support queuing.  I thought it was a common feature nowadays.  In any case, the trial is fully functional for 30 days.  I actually bought this one  ::)

Why not tar and compress the file tree and ftp the archive as a single file?

Because I don't have access to the server.  It's my webserver, hosted in Pittsburgh by a company that i don't own ;)  FTP is it.

Trust me, if I could terminal service into it somehow and package them I would've already.

The owner has all the ports pertaining ports blocked.. 

He's had issues with "hackers" (probably previous customers) so it's a fairly locked down box.

I would just ask him to compress it but I don't want him to see/realize that I have ~1.6 gigs of photos being hosted at moepics.com considering he gives me free server space :o ;)

BTW, I think I got most of them via SmartFTP--I just cranked down the threading to one thread and put them all in a global queue overnight.  It seems as if most downloaded successfully I might have to go and re-download about 20-50 but that's not really bad.

Thanks everyone for the help...  I appreciate all the advice/tips thusfar!

Just write a simple batch file to grab 'em all via FTP either individually, in groups, or all at once.  Somehow I suspect a command-line FTP util won't run into the same problems choking on the large file set.
