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 didn't even know there was an ftp program with Windows.
 How the heck do you use it?? |

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.
