An FTP Program For Low Connections

    K biggest problem i have had with my forum, sometimes i'd have to shut it down and leave it shut down until i have successfully uploaded files. It pisses me off that i have to keep it closed until i finish uploading files. I always get emails, saying "what happened to the site?" "did you shut the site down?" i tell them i have a cheap internet connection cant upload these files. I had another forum manager but he and other people are busy doing their own thing. Im kinda a one man thing. But anyone know a good FTP program that can upload files no matter your internet connection speed? Im in real need of one. The cPanel upload works great but its a bit slow. :eek:

    Appreciate it.

    EDIT: I use FileZilla, not happy with the results

    how quickly you can upload the files depends on your *Connection Speed*
    so no matter you do it from cpanel, filezilla or smartftp , results will be same (slow) unless your own internet connection is fast
    btw why do you have to upload files again and again to keep the forum running ? that appears to be odd

    check cute ftp, classic ftp.
    if you want speed than install command line ssh from there you can upload securely and fast as it will not use gui and other stuff. how to copy
    go into path of data
    scp file1 file2 file3 :/path/to/copy
    if you want to upload folder
    scp -r foldername :/path/to/copy
    you have to ask this from your host to allow you ssh or scp.
    try this you will find some good results ;)

    Yes I think SSH is your only option now.
