I am trying to Ftp html documents to my webhost. For some reason I can copy more than 1998 files into any folder. I have tried to different ftp appz with the same result. Anyone have any tips or advice?
i never encountered any ftp limit - many thousands of files but for efficiency for large quantities of files to maintain use rsync complete syntax looks like rsync -avz --progress --stats /folder/from/your_hdd :/full_path_to_upload/directory/ (above ONE line) a same procedure is used to transfer host to host all files when moving to new host for above procedure i work with serverkeys instead of password and i safely assume you have Linux on both ends try the very first time OFFLINE to see how it works by copying one folder to another test-folder ... later when all uploaded that way only files changed with new timestamp will be uploaded hence such rsync procedure is ideal for backups as well rsync works both directions UP and download of course
Try to copy 3-4 small files (under the limit). If you cannot, then it's the limit set up for your system. If you can, most likely there's some problem with your communication. J.D.
I had a problem with a single file size limit on my server. It would not let me upload a file larger than 1 gig before dropping the ftp All sorted now though split it up into little bits. We were transferring Welsh rugby games to boys around the world who could not get to see them
mortgage-pro-seo rsync may also work with windows desktop first login via SSH or telnet to your server then from there make rsync hence the syntax would first start with from then to i.e. username@ur-desktop:/path-to-folder/desktop/ /yourlocalfolder/on-server/ remember that your local machine is the server as you do rsync from THERE and your remote machine in this case is your desktop hence you need to remote login to yxour desktop from the point of view server - make sure firewall allows such .. check first if your server has rsync whereis rsync will show if avalable else you still have the option of dual boot me too i have dual boot - but different boot one: suse linux 9.2 boot tow: suse linux 9.3
