Ms FTP - it rocks!

I don't know if I'm insane, stupid, or what...

why is it that console FTP (ftp.exe in windows/system32) is like 5 times faster when uploading than any other ftp program I've tried (and I've tried a few)

Can anyone else confirm this or am I the only one seeing this? Maybe I'm hallucinating...

I just uploaded a 1Mb mpeg file to test my theory:

Ms Ftp: 5.5s (299 k/s)
FlashFxp: 19.2s (107 k/s)
Ftp Navigator: 28s (60 k/s)

Hmmm.....

I use that one (via cmd.exe) to download .htaccess files that aren't visible on some servers I frequent. Takes a little longer to enter all the data but it does the job. I didn't know it uploaded faster than regular ftp programs.

It's quite a handy little tool, especially for automating uploads. You run it from a console.

Basically you write commands like this:

open ftpaddress
myname
mypassword
bin
put file

you can also use wildcards like
mput *.jpg
to upload all jpg files in the current folder

but the really neat part comes when you put the above in a file (ie ftpfile.txt) and run it like
ftp -s:ftpfile.txt

If you're into automating things it's very useful.

I still don't get it. I think I'll just stick with WsFtp for now.
